Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Pour the spice rub over the chicken thighs and massage it into the meat with your hands until evenly coated.
Add the lemon juice and honey to the bowl, tossing the chicken thighs again to ensure they are well coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes. For deeper flavor, refrigerate and marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken thighs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked but still juicy.
Remove the cooked chicken slabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the Dragonsbreath Slabs hot, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
