Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced + 1/2 lemon zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a spacious bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, whisking them together.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure they are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Place the bowl in the refrigerator, allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 8 hours. If you’re short on time, you can grill the chicken thighs immediately, although the depth of flavor won’t be as pronounced.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat when the chicken is ready.
  • Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping them once, or until the thickest part of the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • After cooking, remove the chicken thighs from the grill, transfer them to a plate, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
  • Serve the chicken thighs immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
