Step-by-Step Grilling<\/keyword> Instructions<\/h2>\n\n- \n
Dry the chicken thighs<\/strong> \u2013 Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the rub stick and ensures crispy skin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Make the spice rub<\/strong> \u2013 In a small bowl, mix together apple pie spice, salt, brown sugar, cardamom, coriander, cumin, and ancho chili powder until well blended.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Season the chicken<\/strong> \u2013 Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken thighs. For the best flavor, let the chicken rest for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature or\u00a0 for best results refrigerate overnight.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Preheat the grill<\/strong> \u2013 Set your grill to low heat, around 300\u2013325\u00b0F<\/strong>. Oil the grates lightly so the chicken won\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Grill the thighs slowly<\/strong> \u2013 Place the chicken thighs skin-side down first. Cook for about 10 minutes, then flip. Continue cooking over low heat, flipping every 8\u201310 minutes to prevent burning, until the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F. Total cook time will be about 35\u201340 minutes depending on the size of the thighs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n- \n
Rest and serve<\/strong> \u2013 Remove the chicken from the gril<\/a>l and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. The resting time helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat moist.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n![\"Grilled](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/searmarks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Grilled-Apple-Spice-Chicken-Thighs-by-Searmarks.webp?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1\"\/)
