Just when you were fretting that your grill might never get to see the light of day again, here's a great reason to break it out, clean it off, and warm it up. In the case that your grill is buried under a snow drift, fret not -- this recipe works just as well on a grill pan.
The bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are first doused in a spice blend that includes garlic and onion powders, oregano, and chili powder and paprika for an extra kick, then slow-grilled over low heat. The result is highly flavorful, crispy chicken thighs. So mix up some spice blend, high-five for everything make-ahead, and light up the grill -- er, grill pan. No matter the weather, it's time to work these chicken thighs into your weeknight dinner plans.
