Ingredients
  

  • 8 Skinless Chicken Thighs (fat removed)
  • 1 tbsp Goya All Purpose Adobo seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1/2 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dry Sage
  • 1/2 tsp Red pepper
  • 1 Lemon zested
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Italian flat leaf parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • (OPTIONAL): Despite what many critics may say, I personally ALWAYS clean my chicken. I clean my chicken in a salt & vinegar bath to remove the slimy membrane that's typically on chicken. If you are okay with not washing your chicken, feel free to skip this step.
  • Take chicken thighs and place on a flat surface or in a bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with the Goya Adobo seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, dry sage, and red pepper. Next zest a clean lemon over chicken thighs. Place inside of a reusable plastic bag to allow chicken to marinate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor results. 
  • Preheat grill. Remove the chicken from the plastic bag and discard. Place chicken on grill and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat, and top off with a fresh chopped parsley for extra flavor. Serve and enjoy!
