How to Make Fenugreek Boneless Chicken Thighs Recipe

This recipe is so easy to make! You just season the chicken, and grill – either inside or outside!

Add all the chicken thighs to a large bowl and season. Mix well. You can allow it to marinate for up to 24hrs before cooking for even better flavor.

We cooked this recipe originally on the center griddle of our stove on high heat. If your stove doesn’t have a griddle, you can get a griddle here. They are super helpful for cooking large batches of meat for meal prep. Or you could also use a skillet starting on medium heat.

Alternatively, you could also cook it outside on the grill.

Oil your pan before starting to make sure it doesn’t stick too much. We use grapeseed oil because it’s good for high heat, but you could also use olive oil or whatever you prefer.

Place the chicken on the grill and allow to cook 3-5 minutes before flipping. Then cook for 5 minutes on the other side before flipping again. Continue like this, flipping back and forth, until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees.

Take off the grill, serve and enjoy.
