TIP: To put a super simple, healthy meal on the table during the summer:

How to Make Perfect Grilled Chicken

Here’s my best and favorite tip for making perfect grilled chicken!

1. Use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts. This makes all the difference.
2. Marinate the thighs in something delicious before grilling (suggestions above)
3. As you can see from the picture below, I blackened the chicken more than I meant to – and the meat still turned out juicy and flavorful! This is because chicken thighs have more fat than chicken breasts so they are much harder to ruin.
4. We usually cook boneless thighs for 10-15 minutes on each side, turning it from time to time.

TIP: Chop your leftover Grilled Chicken into a fantastic Chef Salad for lunch!
