Description
These grilled chicken thighs are marinated in a delicious mixture of brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, and spices, then cooked to perfection on the grill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup rice vinegar
- 1 small knob fresh ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for serving)
- chopped green onions (optional, for serving)
- pineapple slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic together in a resealable plastic bag or large dish.
- Reserve ½ cup of the marinade to use as a basting sauce.
- Place the chicken in the marinade. Make sure it is fully submerged/coated.
- Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Oil the racks of the grill to prevent sticking. Heat the grill to medium (350-375℉).
- Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for 20-25 minutes total.
- Every 5 minutes, flip the chicken and baste with the reserved marinade.
- The chicken is finished once the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh or breast reaches 165°F.
- Finish with a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and green onions. Serve with grilled pineapple if desired.
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Make sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
