Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken thighs until evenly coated.
- Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
- Optional: drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
