A simple and flavorful grilled chicken recipe featuring a crispy herb crust and coarse pink Himalayan salt for a unique mineral kick and irresistible crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Zest of one lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest (if using), coarse pink Himalayan salt, freshly ground black pepper, and olive oil. Stir until a chunky, fragrant paste forms.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the skin side of each thigh.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Place chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 7-9 minutes until skin is golden and crisp.
  5. Flip the chicken and grill the other side for 10-12 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove chicken from grill and let rest loosely tented with foil for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Use coarse pink Himalayan salt for a crunchy texture. Avoid overcrowding the grill to maintain crispiness. If crust starts burning, reduce heat or move chicken to cooler part of grill. Optionally brush with olive oil halfway through grilling to keep crust moist. Can finish under broiler or in oven if no grill is available.
