Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped, optional
Instructions
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub half of the spice mixture onto the chicken thighs. Flip the chicken and apply the remaining spices, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking Method:
- For grilling: Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat; drizzle olive oil. Grill half of the chicken, allowing space between pieces, for about 5 minutes without moving. Flip and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until done. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- For broiling: Preheat your oven's broiler and adjust a rack to 6 inches from the heat source. Place a wire rack on a baking tray and arrange the chicken on it. Broil for 6 minutes, flip, and continue broiling for another 5 to 6 minutes.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, top with chopped cilantro.
