How do you cook boneless chicken thighs on Big Griddle?

Cooking Boneless Chicken Thighs on a Big Griddle:

Ingredients:

* Boneless, skin-on chicken thighs (amount depends on your desired portion size)

* Olive oil or cooking spray

* Salt and pepper

* Your favorite seasonings (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:

* Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.

* Season generously with salt and pepper.

* Add any desired seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.

2. Preheat the Big Griddle:

* Turn the Big Griddle on to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).

* Let it heat for 5-10 minutes to get it nice and hot.

3. Cook the Chicken:

* Brush the griddle surface with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

* Place the chicken thighs on the hot griddle, leaving some space between each piece.

* Avoid overcrowding the griddle, this will lead to uneven cooking.

* Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

* Tip: To get nice grill marks, don't move the chicken too much during the cooking process.

4. Check for Doneness:

* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken.

* When the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.

5. Rest and Serve:

* Once cooked, remove the chicken from the griddle and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Tips for Perfect Chicken:

* Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.

* Cook the chicken to the correct internal temperature. This ensures that the chicken is safe to eat.

* Use a meat thermometer. This is the most accurate way to check the internal temperature of the chicken.

* Rest the chicken before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Variations:

* Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in advance will add flavor and moisture.

* Add vegetables to the griddle: You can cook vegetables alongside the chicken for a complete meal.

* Serve with a sauce: A flavorful sauce, such as a lemon-herb sauce or a barbecue sauce, will complement the chicken perfectly.
