One of my most popular posts is my Grilled Thyme Shrimp Kabobs made with my garlic thyme marinade. I absolutely love this marinade. I tell all my friends, if you don’t try anything else off my blog you have to try this marinade. It's just that good. It's sweet and savory and tastes great on chicken.
For this recipe I am using about 3 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs and I tripled the original marinade recipe (the original recipe is based on one pound of meat).
For this recipe I am using about 3 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs and I tripled the original marinade recipe (the original recipe is based on one pound of meat).
For the marinade you all you need is olive, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper, worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar and thyme. Rosemary also works well, in the pictures below I used half thyme and half rosemary because I ran out thyme.
Combine all of the ingredient.
Whisk together
Pour marinade over chicken and let it marinate for a least 1 hour, for best flavor marinate it overnight.
Next pan sear the chicken in a skillet 2-3 minutes on each side.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 10-15 mins or until the juices run clear.
