How to Make Easy Grilled Chicken Thighs and Sweet Potatoes
Succulent and juicy chicken thighs with a side of grilled sweet potatoes for your next meal. Both chicken thighs and sweet potatoes are seasoned with salt and pepper, and grilled to perfection. And the secret to this super flavorful grilled chicken? Flavored salts.
To make the chicken thighs, start with seasoning chicken with the flavored Merlot salt and pepper. Rub it into the both sides of chicken. You’ll also need to season the sweet potatoes, but this time I’m using charcoal infused Cypress Black Salt. This gives a lovely charcoal color and flavor to the potatoes.
After grilling them, you can sprinkle with more salt. I really love the lovely texture added by the larger flakes of the black salt. Again, feel free to customize these recipes with your favorite gourmet flavored salt.
With just two ingredients, this delicious meal is an upgraded version of your favorite grilled chicken thighs. Delicious!
