FAQ

How do you grill chicken thighs without drying them out?

How do you grill chicken without drying it out? Grilling dark meat, such as chicken thighs with bones and skin in tact, is your best option for tender, juicy chicken. Chicken breasts are much more likely to dry out on the grill.

How long does it take to grill chicken thighs?

Grill boneless, skinless chicken thighs for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The best way to determine when chicken is done is to use an instant read thermometer. Be sure to insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.

Do you flip chicken thighs on the grill?

To get that nice, crispy skin, grill chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes over direct heat. Then, flip the chicken thighs and cook them over direct heat for another 4 minutes. Finally, flip the chicken thighs again and cook them over indirect heat.
