Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk in the olive oil and red wine vinegar until well combined.
- Set aside to let the flavors meld while preparing the chicken.
Marinate the Chicken
- Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
- Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, reserving the other half for serving.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 6-7 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve
- Serve the grilled chicken thighs with the reserved chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
