Notes

The time I cooked this one it took 30 minutes from hitting the grill to being done.

One thing to be aware of, is if your thighs are not a consistent thickness try and arrange them on the grill so the thickest parts are closest to the hotter section of the grill. Equally if there is a couple of thinner thighs, place them towards the outer edge of the grill.

If you haven't already got yourself a good digital thermometer, I highly recommend it. Takes all the guesswork out of your cooking, ensuring not only a safe product but a delicious juicy meal.

We serve this with a fresh salad but equally would be delicious over a bed of couscous or similar.
