Description

Juicy grilled chicken thighs marinated in a sweet and tangy sauce, perfect for any outdoor gathering.


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

  1. Whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic together in a resealable plastic bag or large dish.
  2. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade to use as a basting sauce.
  3. Place the chicken in the marinade. Make sure it is fully submerged/coated.
  4. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  5. Oil the racks of the grill to prevent sticking. Heat the grill to medium (350-375℉).
  6. Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for 20-25 minutes total.
  7. Every 5 minutes, flip the chicken and baste with the reserved marinade.
  8. The chicken is finished once the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh or breast reaches 165°F.
  9. Finish with a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and green onions. Serve with grilled pineapple if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, marinate the chicken overnight.
  • Ensure the grill is properly oiled to avoid sticking.
