Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375Β°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
