Grill over medium/high heat: cook the thighs at around 400ºF for around 4-5 minutes on each side. Grill over direct heat: we prefer grilling boneless chicken thighs over direct heat so they get those gorgeous char marks. Cook until 160ºF: if you remove the thighs when the internal temperature reaches 160ºF, they will continue cooking as they sit about 5 more degrees. Let rest: make sure to let the chicken thighs rest for around 5-10 minutes after you remove them from the grill so that they can continue cooking around 5 more degrees.
