📝 Ingredients

• 6 bone-in chicken thighs, (excess skin trimmed)
• Diamond kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Chicken dry rub ((optional))
• Neutral oil, (like canola)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pat the thighs dry with a paper towel and brush on a little neutral oil and season on all sides. (Chicken can be prepped, seasoned and refrigerated uncovered for 3 to 24 hours before cooking for optimal flavor.)
2. 2Prep and preheat the grill to 450° F with a two-zone grilling setup (see note). Clean the grates with an oiled paper towel and tongs or grill brush.
3. 3Sear the thighs skin-side down for 3-5 minutes, keeping an eye on flare-ups.
4. 4Turn and cook for 3-5 more minutes, then transfer to the cooler side.
5. 5Continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 175-185° F. About 25-35 minutes total for bone-in, depending on the thickness of the chicken and temperature of the grill.
6. 6Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
