Ingredients

1.5-2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 sprig fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl then add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the chicken.
1.5-2 pounds bone-in, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 sprig fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Toss the chicken thighs with tongs or your hands to coat with the marinade.
Refrigerate and let the chicken thighs marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (450 degrees F). Sear the chicken thighs for 5-10 minutes per side (longer amount of time will be needed if using an indoor grill) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy!
