Instructions

  1. Chop 1/2 cup of parsley and mince 8 cloves of garlic.  Combine with 1.5 cups olive oil, 1 cup red wine vinegar, 3/4 cup pecorino cheese, 2 tsp dried oregano and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper.  Whisk well or blend.  
  2. Reserve and set aside 3/4 cup of the Italian dressing marinade.  Pour remaining Italian dressing in a zip lock bag with the boneless chicken thighs.  Refrigerate overnight or a minimum of 4 hours.
  3. When ready for grilling remove chicken from bag and dispose of marinade.
  4. Preheat gas grill to medium heat.  Lightly oil grates and grill thighs for 7-8 minutes per side until nicely charred.  Cook until internal temperature of meat is minimum 165f. 
  5. Plate and serve the chicken thighs with a drizzle of the remaining 3/4 cups of Italian dressing.  Enjoy!

Notes

  • Remove any large pieces of fat from the boneless thighs if present, but do not worry about small bits of fat.
  • All grills are different so use the time as a general grilling guideline.
  • For certainty use an instant read thermometer and cook to 165f minimum temperature.
  • No salt was added due to the salt content of the pecorino cheese.
  • 3/4 cup of the remaining Italian dressing can be used for a salad or drizzled on top of the chicken.
