Ingredients

Instructions

Pat chicken thighs dry and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour marinade over chicken thighs, turning to coat well. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes while the grill heats.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly.
Grill chicken thighs, skin side down, for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 4-6 minutes, until cooked through and juices run clear (internal temp 165°F).
Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra lemon wedges if desired.
