How Long to Grill Chicken Thighs and Legs on a Pellet Grill. Preheat your pellet grill to 400 °F. Cook boneless thighs for 15-20 minutes and bone-in thighs for 35 minutes. Heat until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F. Allow the chicken thighs to rest for 5 minutes.
Prep: Place chicken in a large ziploc bag (4-6 quart). Leave bag open, then use a meat mallet or rolling pin to carefully pound chicken to ½ inch thickness. Marinate: Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl or measuring jug. Pour over chicken (check bag for holes before adding marinade!), zip bag close.Cook for 10-12 minutes and then turn them over. Remove the chicken when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. If you do not use a meat thermometer, then cut open a thigh and make sure the juices run clear. Let the quarters sit for five minutes before serving.
First, place the chicken legs over direct heat and cook for about 2 minutes per side, just to sear the meat slightly. Then move the legs to the indirect heat portion of the grill. Close the grill cover and let the meat cook, undisturbed, for about 20 minutes. If your grill has a thermometer, try to maintain a temperature of about 325-350F.
1. Preheat the grill on high for 10-15 minutes, then use your grill brush to scrape any previous remnants off your grates. 2. Marinate the fully thawed chicken breasts. A clean and easy way to marinate the chicken is to place it in a large plastic zip top bag, add your marinade and make sure your entire chicken breast is covered.
