Dry-Brine Garlic Chicken Thighs

10 Mins
5 Servings

Ingredients

5 Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

2 whole garlic cloves

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garlic, salt, and black pepper are all you need to bring out the flavor in a great-tasting chicken thigh. The seasonings meld with the meat when it’s in the oven, which means every bite tastes the same.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 120⁰F.

2. Pulse garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Remove and spread onto a cooking sheet. Heat in oven for 3-4 hours or until the mixture starts to dry out. For even drying, rotate mixture every 15 minutes.

3. Once mixture dries, rub onto thighs. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. In a charcoal grill, heat the charcoal until ash in color.

5. Place thighs on the grill.

6. Turn thighs using tongs; cover and grill for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180⁰F.
