Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried oregano)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a food processor, blend parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth but slightly chunky.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a bowl or resealable bag and pour half of the chimichurri marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat Your Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (400°F / 200°C) and oil it to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Thighs: Remove chicken from marinade and discard leftovers. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
  5. Add More Flavor: Brush additional chimichurri sauce onto each thigh during the last minute of grilling.
  6. Serve: Transfer grilled thighs to a platter and drizzle with remaining chimichurri sauce. Enjoy with grilled vegetables or salad.
