Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs

Gourmet flavors that fit the budget! Chicken thighs are one of the lowest priced chicken cuts and make a simple and delicious option for grilling. The compact shape is easy to manage on the grill and the higher fat content in this cut keeps the meat from drying out. Lemon and herbs impart a lovely, bright flavor–a great recipe for summer grilling!

  • 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 5 sprigs fresh sage, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
