Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
For the Chimichurri Sauce
  • 1 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, reserving the other half for serving. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Serve
  1. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the reserved chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
