Description

These spice-rubbed grilled chicken thighs are an easy grilling recipe that will be on repeat this summer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • A few grinds black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill.
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup pitted green olives, chopped
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  • Mint leaves and arugula, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium serving bowl, stir together paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic salt, and pepper. Add the chicken, then toss together to coat. 
  2. Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Use a paper towel to coat the grill gates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, turning occasionally, about 12 – 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and honey. 
  4. Place the chicken on a serving platter, top with the olives, lemon slices, arugula, and mint, then drizzle with the vinaigrette. Enjoy!
