Customize It Instructions

If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 1, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork chop thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

1 Cook the Chicken
Pat chicken thighs dry. Don’t worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
