Zesty Grilled Chicken
Best for JB’s slow-grown, pasture-raised Chicken Thighs (bone-in or boneless/skinless)
When you’ve got quality pasture-raised chicken, a good dry rub and a hot grill are all you need. This zesty blend adds just the right kick while letting the natural flavor shine.
Ingredients
4 chicken thighs (bone-in/skin-on or boneless/skinless)
Dry Rub:
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon garlic
Instructions
1. Prep the Chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. This step is especially important for crispy results if using skin-on thighs. I highly recommend doing this in the morning and leaving them on a plate, uncovered, in the fridge, until you’re ready to grill for dinner.
2. Season Generously
Mix the dry rub, then apply evenly and generously on all sides.
3. Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill to grate temperature 500°F.
4. Grill the Chicken
Start over direct heat for 5 minutes, flip for another 5 minutes.
Reduce heat a few notch’s and continue flipping 5 minutes each side.
Continue cooking until internal temp reaches about 165°F. It should take around 30-40 minutes in total.
5. Rest and Serve
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Our boneless, skinless chicken thighs offer rich flavor and natural juiciness in a versatile, easy-to-use cut. With a little more depth than breast meat, they’re well suited for grilling, roasting, braising, or weeknight dinners where flavor and tenderness matter most.
