Ingredients List
Important Notes
Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes is essential, but 4 hours to overnight yields the most robust flavor.
Using a two-zone setup on a charcoal grill prevents flare-ups from burning the spices and meat before they are fully cooked.
A water pan on the grill helps maintain moisture, keeping the chicken thighs extra juicy.
Always rely on a digital meat thermometer rather than visual cues to ensure chicken is safely cooked to 165°F.
