Place the chicken in a deep bowl and in the marinade ingredients which include olive oil, seasoning, freshly squeezed lemon juice and minced garlic. Mix everything together to get a nice coating on the protein and let it marinate for at least an hour in the fridge.
Preheat the grill to a high, indirect heat of 425 degrees.
Place the marinated chicken thighs skin side down first. Grill until the internal temperature reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Flip them over and finish the cook skin side up. Remove the grilled chicken thighs from the grill once the internal temperature of the meat reaches 175 degrees and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the chicken is resting, combine all the sauce ingredients which include mayo, sour cream, all purpose seasoning, dill, lemon juice and zest in a blender or food processor and mix until smooth.
Once the Grilled Dill Chicken Thighs have rested, sprinkle some freshly chopped dill over the top, pour some of the dill dip into a smaller bowl, dunk and enjoy!

If you are grilling chicken breast, remove the pieces once the internal temperature reads 160 degrees. The chicken will increase to 165 degrees during the resting phase.
For a healthier version that has more protein, substitute in greek yogurt in place of sour cream and mayo.
