These marinated Blackstone chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and seared to perfection on a flat top griddle. The vibrant herb marinade made with parsley, scallions, garlic, and vinegar adds bold flavor to tender chicken thighs. Perfect for easy weeknight dinners or backyard cookouts!

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
  • 1 bunch scallions, tops only
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Additional oil for griddle or grill

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine parsley, scallions, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add avocado oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until combined into a sauce.
  3. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sauce into each of two small containers (¼ cup total). Reserve for basting and serving.
  4. Use the remaining sauce to marinate the chicken thighs. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  5. For Blackstone Griddle: Preheat one side of the griddle to 450°F (medium-high) and the other to low heat.
  6. Cook marinated chicken on the hot side for 5 minutes, flip, and baste with one portion of the reserved sauce. Cook another 4 minutes until browned.
  7. Move the chicken to the cooler side and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will rise to 165°F). Serve with remaining sauce.
  9. For Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.
  10. Grill chicken over direct heat for 10 minutes, flipping and basting halfway through.
  11. Move chicken to indirect heat and cook for 7–9 minutes more, until internal temp reaches 160°F.
  12. Let rest 5–10 minutes, then serve with reserved sauce.

Notes

  • Marinate for at least 2 hours for best flavor—up to 4 hours max.
  • Always reserve part of the marinade before it touches raw meat for basting and serving.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking to lock in juices and ensure proper internal temperature.
  • This recipe works great on a grill or stovetop griddle if you don’t have a Blackstone.
