These Grilled Chicken Thighs are the best entree that I meal prep weekly. They’re seasoned with a simple and versatile spice blend, then cooked on the grill until tender and juicy with the perfect amount of crisp.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or bone-in
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Pre-heat grill or grill pan to medium high heat, and grease grill grates.
  • Pat chicken dry.  Drizzle oil over chicken.
  • In small bowl whisk together salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic, paprika.
  • Sprinkle spice mix and mix to coat evenly.
  • When grill is hot, add chicken and let cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
  • Let chicken sit for 5 minutes. Serve warm with sides of choice!

Notes

  • Storing. Cooked chicken will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm on the stove until heated through.
  • Check the temp. It’s the most foolproof method to check that the food is cooked all the way through. It should be 165FºF in the thickest part of the chicken.
