Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 pounds)
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 3 large tomatoes, halved crosswise
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the mayonnaise, chili powder, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat a grill to medium low. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish, then add the chicken, turning to thoroughly coat. Grill the chicken, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes per side. Meanwhile, brush the tomatoes with vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place cut-side down on the grill and cook until marked, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with the chicken.

I’m a “don’t read the comments” guy because so often the commenters attempt to rewrite the recipe. This time I wish I had, because I gave those babies direct heat on medium-low and they were quickly aflame. Camp Indirect Heat for me next time.
We live in an apartment so outdoor grilling is not an option. However, the flavor combination sounded great. I followed the instructions and then sautéed the chicken skin side down on medium heat in a small amount of olive oil on top of the stove for 3 minutes. I then flipped the chicken and placed the pan in a preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes. Delicious. No grill to clean.
If you want a 2 alarm fire on your grill, make these? Were they good? Who knows; they were more charred than the briquettes in the grill – oil, mayonnaise (which is mad of oil & egg) on a grill = inferno!
Did this on a Ninja Foodi grill. The chicken turned out excellent and moist but could have used more flavor. I even added some hot sauce to the Mayo marinade but was still milder than I prefer. 5stars for ease and time!
I have made this recipe a 1/2 dozen times and I love it as does my husband and guests. I use chipotle chili and adds a fabulous flavor. I mix Panko with the bread crumbs. Tried the air fryer tonight vs the grill and still came out moist, tasty and a crunchy crust
We loved this! Easy, delicious and came out great!!
Delicious, substituted sambal oelek for the chili and cayenne and let set overnight. Placed on the warming racks instead of the grill plate and oh man….crispy and yummy!
This was delicious I had doubts on the grill part I flipped the chicken and it was really crispy
I’m
Absolutely the best.. marinated for 24 hours.. baked for an hour, turning the thighs over at 30 minutes… family loved !!
