    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Make the Spicy Pickle Aioli

    Chill the Aioli

    Cover and refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
