If you’re craving BBQ, it’s the perfect time to grill some boneless chicken wings. They cook quickly, stay juicy, and taste absolutely delicious. This guide covers everything you need to know to get the best results.
How Long Should You Cook Them For?
Boneless chicken wings take about 6–8 minutes per side to cook. They need to reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to be sure.
The Best Way to Cook Boneless Chicken Thighs on an Electric Grill
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to help with even cooking.
- Season with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices or marinade.
- Set your electric grill to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up fully.
- Place the smooth side down of the chicken thighs on the grill.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes per side with the lid closed if your grill has one. Flip only once.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is at least 165°F (74°C). If needed, cook for an extra 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Note: Don’t press the chicken while grilling. Pressing can squeeze out the juices, making it dry.
