The Accidental Ultimate Grilled Herbed Chicken Thigh


Sorry for the uber long title! Ahh... This recipe reminds me of Christmas :-) must be the herb-by taste. I accidentally discovered this grilled dish while thinking of ways to use up some of my spices stash which are about to expire. The result.. lo-and-behold! simple and exquisite grilled chicken. 

Ingredients: 
6 Pieces Chicken thigh fillets
Dry rub:  
4 Tsp.    Dried Oregano Flakes or 4 Tbsp. Fresh Oregano
4 Tsp.    Dried Thyme or 4 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme
4 Tsp.    Dried Rosemary or 4 Tbsp. Fresh Rosemary
3 Tbsp. Chopped Basil
2 Tsp.    Paprika
3 Tsp.    Chili Powder
1 Tsp.    Garlic Powder
1 Tsp.    Onion Powder
1 Tsp.    Sea Salt
1 Tsp.    Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Steps: 
1. Combine all the dry rub. 

2. Using a paper towel, pat the chicken thigh fillets dry 
3. Generously rub the dry rub (wtf is this sentence?? ^^) into the chicken fillet.
4. Set aside the chicken for an hour or more (since it's humid here in Manila, I store the marinated chicken in the ref)

5. Preheat grill to hot (I'm using a stove top grill)
6. Once grill is heated, lower the temp to medium low.
7. Add olive oil, just enough to oil the grill.
8. Add the chicken in, skin first, grill for 5 minutes, then turn over to the next side, then cook for another 5 minutes.
