Ingredients
4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
3. Stir in paprika, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
4. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the chicken thighs.
5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes.
6. Flip the thighs and continue grilling for another 7-8 minutes, basting with more garlic butter.
7. Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
8. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic butter mixture for a few hours before grilling.
You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
