A delicious recipe for grilled chicken thighs marinated in a flavorful mixture and served with a zesty Salmoriglio sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- For the Salmoriglio Sauce:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Salmoriglio sauce. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the grilled chicken drizzled with Salmoriglio sauce.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
