By far, my favorite part of the chicken I'm developing creative block though and would like to freshen up the arsenal.I'm even thinking of going back to charcoal for awhile,but I'm a kind of "want it now" type personality so if I have to stick with gas, I will.
Looking for some marinating and BBQing ideas for grilled chicken thighs and what better place to start than here.
What works, gang?? Also, anybody have a nice Asian spicy flair recipe they could share with me?

isaac - I agree on liking thighs, but I would rather fry them than grill them - to me they don't seem to be made for the grill. I just shake them in a bag with flour, various salts, black pepper, and paprika and fry them in olive oil. Best, John

Pick what ever marinade that you like and try injecting the thighs if you want to save time on marinade. I cook all of my chicken on the grill with the coals offset to one side to prevent flareups. It can be done with a Gas grill but I prefer charcoal. My favorite is Wicker Sauce, http://web.inetba.com/wickers/index2.ivnu

Isaac try marinating them in italian dressing and the grilling them. Other than that I just like to fry them as 5sdad does.

I think the the Filipinos do a great job with thighs - Chicken Adobo!

For grilling chicken you can't go wrong by marinating in Mojo Crillo for a good citrus kick.

I love thighs...grilled or fried, or even baked. For grilling, I use a marinade of Italian dressing and bottled bbq sauce, about 50-50, with a healthy splash of hearty red wine.

Here's how I marinate chicken thighs: In a large Ziploc bag toss in the thighs, salt, pepper, juice of a whole lemon, a tablespoon full of finely chopped fresh rosemary, five cloves of smashed garlic (I just smash them with the side of a knife, but you can use a garlic crusher if you really want to spread it around and have a strong garlic taste, but if you just smash them, you can remove them more neatly before cooking), a few whole bay leaves (don't crush them, as you need to be able to remove them before cooking, since they are not edible and could cause problems if you accidentally ate a piece), a cup full of olive oil, close bag, getting out all the air, then squish it around a bit to mix it all up evenly. Let sit over night in the top of the refrigerator, where it's least cold.
Whether you grill them the next day, or roast them in the oven, they will be delicious. Enjoy.

I'm getting some great stuff here, as expected. I've never had Adobo and I like Hawk's methodolgy for marinating.I like the marinade, as well.
GPA...I've never done a 50-50 that way but it seems a great idea for a nice and easy variation.
Jim...Never tried Mojo Crillo but I'll look for it.
Thanks much, all. Doesn't anyone like that Thai style version of cooking chicken??

Yes, I miss my grandparents, too. They've all been gone for a while now, though. So many things I wished I'd asked them, particularly about the things they used to cook for us, and related matters.
For example, I came into possession of my grandmother's cast iron skillet recently. It had been part of her regularly used collection of cookware since the early 20th Century. When I got it, it was still totally black from her seasoning, as no one cooked on it since she gave up cooking in the 1980s. Now, after I've been using it regularly, parts of the raw metal are starting to show here and there. I was thinking I wished I could ask her what she did to keep it so solid black.

Bob,
If you've made Bart's Chili, and you found the Sazon Goya, the Mojo Criollo should be close by. Like in the size of a large wine bottle. In fact Goya makes some good Mojo Criollo.

Hawk...I was mostly thinking of Thai style marinades and cooking sauces for grilled chicken.
I have had the same style Thai chicken lunch you've had at my favorite local hangout for years. I actually just tried Pho for the first time. I loved it.
That's for another thread though, perhaps.

Thanks Jim. I'll give it a whirl. I easily found the Sazon Goya when I made Bart's chili so I'll look near the same spot today when I run out to the store.

Thighs and wings are my favorite. The kids like legs, and my wife likes the breasts. Funny how that works out, I buy lots of whole fryers.
If you like hot wings try my “hot thighs”. Marinade the thighs with: Red Hot/Crystal ect hotsauce, fresh sage, crushed garlic (lots) and fresh ground black pepper. It is best to marinate this for a whole day or more. Grill slowly so it doesn’t burn. Serve as you would chicken wings with ranch/Bleu Cheese carrots ect.
