Easy Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken Thighs
These juicy grilled chicken thighs are packed with bright citrus flavor and are perfect for any summer cookout.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of chicken hitting a hot grill on a warm summer evening. I love using thighs because they stay nice and tender while getting those beautiful brown grill marks that everyone loves.
This marinade is super simple but brings so much flavor to the table. If you do not have Herbs de Provence on hand, feel free to swap in dried oregano or Italian seasoning. It works great every time.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or glass dish and pour the marinade over them.

Seal or cover the container and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes, though two hours is even better.

Preheat your grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.

💡 Tips
Serve these thighs with a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and they taste great cold in a salad the next day.
