Ingredients for Chicken Thighs on Blackstone
- Olive oil – Every marinade needs an oil base and olive oil is perfect for this one!
- Dijon mustard – For a tart bite with a bit of spicy kick, use dijon mustard in the Blackstone chicken thighs.
- Brown sugar – Add some sweetness to this chicken recipe with a bit of brown sugar.
- Low sodium soy sauce – I recommend using low sodium soy sauce so that you can control the salt level of this dish.
- Worcestershire sauce – The rich flavor of Worcestershire sauce is my secret ingredient to the most flavorful chicken.
- Lemon juice – For the best results, use fresh squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice.
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs – Feel free to use bone-in chicken thighs and you can also use boneless skinless chicken breast if you prefer.
- Minced garlic cloves – Freshly minced garlic is one of the most simple ways to add lovely flavor into these quick Blackstone chicken thighs.
- Seasonings – These three simple seasonings are all you need to make this simple recipe extra tasty.
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Dried oregano
How to Make Blackstone Chicken Thighs
- Pound each boneless chicken thighs with a meat pounder to an even thickness or trim them down to be even.
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Place chicken in a large resealable bag and pour marinade over the top. Gently massage the chicken thighs and be sure to close the bag securely.
- Refrigerate chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. I find 4 to 6 hours to be perfect.
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat the Blackstone grill over medium heat and spread a small amount of oil onto the griddle with a spatula.
- Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side with the lid closed until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the chicken from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes and then serve!
How to Store Leftover Chicken Thighs
Allow the chicken thighs to cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container or plastic ziptop bag.
FRIDGE: Store the chicken in the fridge for 3-4 days.
FREEZER: You can also freeze your leftovers! Just store in a freezer safe container and use within 4 months.
How do you keep chicken from sticking to Blackstone?
It is important that you oil the surface of the griddle well and also make sure that you are cooking at the correct heat. You can use avocado oil, vegetable oil, olive oil and any other high heat oil to cook on the Blackstone and prevent the chicken from sticking.
What to Serve with Blackstone Chicken Thighs
Serve these yummy Blackstone chicken thighs with simple sides like grilled sweet potatoes or a baked potato on the grill. These grilled foil packet potatoes with onions are also tasty.
For a healthy meal, serve this chicken with some grilled cauliflower or grilled asparagus.
Slice up this juicy and tender chicken to serve on a Caesar salad too. If you need some party side dishes, then make a smoked potato casserole or jalapeño popper mac and cheese.
Pro Tips for the best Blackstone chicken thighs
- Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temp of the chicken before serving.
- Don’t marinade your chicken thighs for longer than 24 hours or the acid in the lemon juice will begin to break down the chicken.
- Make sure to preheat the Blackstone before cooking the chicken. This is key to cook the meat thoroughly and helping to avoid it sticking to the surface.
Boneless chicken thighs on Blackstone are irresistibly tasty! You’re going to love this quick recipe.
