How long should you marinate chicken thighs?
The amount of time you have to marinate balsamic chicken thighs will depend on what type of sauce you are using. If the recipe calls for a dry rub, then about 30 minutes should be sufficient. But if it is an Italian-style balsamic glaze with mayonnaise or sour cream, then up to 12 hours
Should I boil chicken thighs before grilling?
chicken thighs can be grilled straight from the refrigerator, but to prevent moisture and grease buildup on your grill grates, it is best to boil them for a few minutes before.

You can heat grilled chicken thighs in a variety of ways, all of which have their merits. The most popular options are to warm them up on the grill or under the oven broiler until they just start browning at the edges and getting crispy again.

Grilled balsamic chicken thighs are best served with a side of grilled or roasted vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or brussels sprouts. They also make a great addition to a salad and can be sliced into smaller pieces to make sandwiches.
