• 500g chicken thighs
• 2 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 orange orange
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and black pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the chopped fresh thyme, orange juice, and olive oil. Add salt and black pepper to taste and stir well. Introduce the chicken thighs into the marinade and make sure they are covered by the mixture.

2. 2

   Step 2: Place the grill over medium-high heat and cook the chicken thighs for 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Make sure the grill is hot enough for the chicken to cook evenly.

3. 3

   Step 3: Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy.

💡 Chef's tip

Sear the chicken on the grill over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side to form a crispy crust. This will help the chicken cook more evenly and have a more intense flavor.

🍷 Wine & food pairing

If you wish, you can pair this grilled chicken with a glass of white wine from the Rueda Designation of Origin, which perfectly complements the thyme and orange flavors.
