Sabrina’s Grilled Chicken Thighs Recipe
One of the best things about skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs is that they are pretty inexpensive but super flavorful, especially when grilled. The fatty skin helps trap the natural juices and locks in moisture. And the crispy, mouthwatering chicken skin with smoky char simply can’t be beat. The key to getting them extra juicy and tasty is marinating them for a good amount of time. You’ll need to plan at least 3 hours for it to fully tenderize and flavor the meat. But for a budget-friendly main dish that tastes like a million bucks, it’s worth remembering to plan ahead!
