Honey Garlic Boneless Chicken Thighs (Print Version)
Tender grilled chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic marinade that caramelizes beautifully on the grill.
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
02 -
1/4 cup honey
03 -
1/4 cup soy sauce
04 -
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
05 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 teaspoon ground ginger
07 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
09 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 -
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
02 -
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
03 -
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
04 -
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred.
05 -
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For a smoky flavor, try adding a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
02 -
You can substitute chicken thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
03 -
Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
