Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary, and lemon juice. Mix well.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

3

Prepare the Grill

Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the grill for smoke flavor. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
