GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

SERVES 3

The thighs are my favorite part of the chicken and this is a simple way to prepare them. They are equally good at room temperature or chilled, and would be a great alternative to fried chicken for a picnic or covered dish affair.

INGREDIENTS

6 chicken thighs

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Place the thighs on a plate in one layer. Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Spread over the thighs on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. You can keep it longer, but it's not necessary. Heat grill to high. Grill the thighs over indirect-medium heat, turning occasionally, until done, about 45 minutes depending on size. These are great hot or room temperature.

Note: This method is equally good with chicken wings or drumettes. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
