Cook to temp, not time. You want to get to 170-175 degrees on thighs most times. I do relatively high heat, but medium is good too.

well done!
thighs are done at 172F
breasts at 164F
Haha that works too. I find thighs super forgiving in final temp.
there was a magazine in the ‘90s that had a test kitchen. their whole schtick was to find the “perfect” way to do things.
i remembered these numbers from their roast chicken article. they also said if you use lemon juice, add it right after the chicken comes off the heat, and it will pull it in as it cools.
Ohh interesting! I’ll give that a try
