Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the fresh rosemary chicken thighs hot with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
