Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, paprika, fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended, creating a fragrant marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs into the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 450°F.
  4. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill and grill for 5-10 minutes. Flip and grill for an additional 5-10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice or serve the grilled chicken thighs whole and enjoy.
