Cuisine: Chicken
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup of Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsps “Grizzly Joe’s Tequila Lime Seasoning”
  • 8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:

  • Rinse chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Mix the olive oil and tequila lime seasoning together in a small bowl.
  • Place chicken into a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinate mixture evenly over the chicken. If necessary, massage the chicken to help get the oil and salt under the skin.
  • Cover and Refrigerate for at least two hours (six is preferred).

Grill the Chicken:

  • After the chicken has marinated, start the Traeger Grill in accordance with the instructions and then set to the "350" Setting.
  • Place the chicken directly onto the grill grate and grill for 20 minutes on the first side. Flip the chicken and grill until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165F (ensuring that the meat thermometer isn't touching a bone) or cook until the juices run clear (will take about 40 to 50 minutes).
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes and then serve.
