Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lime-Tarragon Grilled Chicken Thighs.
Step 1
To start your delicious grilled chicken thighs, grab a large resealable plastic bag and pour in some olive oil, fresh lime juice, chopped onion, dried tarragon, a pinch of salt, and a splash of hot sauce.
Step 2
Seal the bag and give it a good shake to blend all those vibrant flavors together.
Step 3
Next, add the chicken thighs to the bag, making sure they’re generously coated in that zesty marinade.
Step 4
Squeeze out any extra air, seal it up tight, and pop it in the fridge for at least four hours—overnight is even better if you can wait! When you’re ready to cook, fire up your outdoor grill to medium heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep things from sticking.
Step 5
Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off, and toss the leftover marinade away.
Step 6
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the chicken for that extra flavor boost.
Step 7
Now, place those beautifully marinated chicken thighs on the grill and let them cook for about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Remember to turn them occasionally so they cook evenly.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re done when there’s no pink in the center and they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 10
Don’t worry if they take a little longer; chicken thighs are quite forgiving and can handle a bit of extra time on the grill.
Step 11
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma and get ready for a tasty meal!.
