Easy Grilled Garlic Parmesan Chicken Thighs

This recipe features chicken thighs marinated in a mixture of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The cooking time is approximately 30 minutes, and it serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 7-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
