Spicy Marinated Chicken Thighs

Juicy Chicken Wings, Ready to Serve

First, measure out your marinade ingredients and whisk them together.

Next, put your chicken thighs (bone-in) in a ziplock bag and pour in marinade.  Make sure your bag is completely sealed and then toss to coat.  Refrigerate and let marinate for 2 hours or up to 3 hours.  I bought bone-in chicken thighs “skin up” and removed the skin from the chicken thighs before marinating.

This was my first time removing the skin from the chicken thighs and I must admit it was waay easier than I thought.  I can’t believe I’ve never done that before, huge grocery store savings are in store for me!

Preheat your grill to 450° F and put in your heat deflector.  Grill for 35-40 minutes on indirect heat or until internal temperature reaches 165° F.

When I grilled these, I also grilled a delicious assortment of vegetables as an easy side dish. Check out that recipe here.

All my grilling I do on my Saffire Grill. If you are interested in learning more about that kamado grill, check out their website; I highly recommend Saffire!
