How long does it take to grill bone-in chicken thighs?

Grill, covered, until a thermometer registers 165°F when inserted into thickest part of a chicken thigh, 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through grilling. Remove from grill, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Do you need to flip chicken on a George Foreman?

Place on grill and grill for 6 minutes (with an optimal internal temperature of 165F/74C). Make sure to turn the chicken breasts halfway around the 3-minute mark so they get nice grill marks on both sides.

Why do bone-in chicken thighs take longer to cook?

Dark meat, such as chicken thighs or legs, will take longer to cook, because they have a higher fat content and density. Boneless thighs will take 20 to 30 minutes to cook at 350F (dependent on size). Bone-in cuts will require an extra 15 minutes in the oven.
