Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Green Goddess Marinade: In a tall container, combine parsley, chives, basil, dill, distilled vinegar, lemon juice, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and honey. Blend until smooth, then gradually stream in olive oil while blending.
  2. Marinate the Chicken Thighs: Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and place in a bag with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: 15 minutes before cooking, preheat the grill to 400°F and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off excess, and grill for 5-6 minutes. Flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until it reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving with remaining marinade drizzled on top.
