Grilled Chicken and Sausages

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Add the 1.5 lb chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). While it heats, pat the 1 lb sausages dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for 6-7 minutes without moving, until grill marks form and the chicken releases easily.

Step 4

Flip the chicken and add the sausages to the grill. Cook the chicken for another 6-7 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Turn sausages occasionally, cooking until browned and heated through, about 10 minutes total.

Step 5

Transfer everything to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. This keeps the chicken juicy.

Step 6

Slice the sausages and serve the chicken whole with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
