02 -
Fire up your grill to medium-high. Set the chicken right on the hot grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes each side over direct heat. Then move to a cooler spot and keep grilling 8-10 minutes or so, till the inside hits 74°C.
03 -
Dump the chicken thighs into a big bowl or zip bag, pour on olive oil, toss in the chopped garlic, shake in your spice mix, and make sure every bit gets coated. Stash in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
