Juicy grilled chicken thighs smothered in vibrant homemade chimichurri sauce for a zesty, herby flavor explosion perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Make the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Spoon the chimichurri sauce generously over the chicken before serving.

 

Notes

The chimichurri sauce can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in a little bit of chimichurri sauce before grilling.

You can also use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor, though the cooking time will vary.
