Description
Learn how to grill chicken thighs so they turn out perfect + juicy! This EASY grilled chicken thigh marinade is made with just 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs (~ 2 lbs.)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix together garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, and red pepper flakes. (You can also mix the marinade in a ziploc or stasher bag.)
-
Add chicken to bowl and marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight. Stir chicken or flip bag to distribute marinade occasionally.
-
Remove chicken from refrigerator to come to room temperature and preheat 2 burners on the grill to medium high, about 375 degrees F.
-
Grill on direct heat, skin side down for 6 minutes, flip and grill for another 6 minutes, then move to indirect heat and cover. Let cook until chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 180-185 degrees F. Thighs usually take about 20-25 minutes total, but it will really depend on the size and heat of your grill.
-
Let rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free grilled chicken thigh marinade.
