Chimichurri Marinated Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the chimichurri marinade.
- Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the chimichurri marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the marinade coats the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.
- Grill chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they have a nice char.
- Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, and serve hot.
