Grilled chicken thighs are a flavorful and protein-packed dish often enjoyed in a variety of cuisines, ranging from American barbecue to Mediterranean and Asian-inspired recipes. They are prepared by seasoning and grilling skin-on or skinless chicken thighs to achieve a smoky, tender, and juicy result. Chicken thighs are a rich source of high-quality protein, which supports muscle growth and repair, and they also contain essential vitamins like B6 and niacin, as well as minerals such as phosphorus and selenium. While they offer excellent nutritional benefits, they tend to have slightly higher fat content compared to chicken breasts, particularly if the skin is left on. Opting for skinless chicken thighs or trimming excess fat can make them a leaner choice. Grilling as a cooking method reduces the need for added oils, making this dish a healthier alternative to fried options.
