Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs with Honey Garlic Marinade are delicious and flavorful, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and have nice grill marks.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Try using different herbs like fresh cilantro or basil for added flavor in the marinade.
