Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.

Step 3

Pour the spice rub over the chicken thighs and massage it into the meat with your hands until evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice and honey to the bowl, tossing the chicken thighs again to ensure they are well coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes. For deeper flavor, refrigerate and marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the chicken thighs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked but still juicy.

Step 8

Remove the cooked chicken slabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve the Dragonsbreath Slabs hot, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
