Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable freezer bag or a glass container.
Step 3: Pour the chicken thigh marinade recipe mixture over the meat, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5: Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C).
Step 6: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and cook for 6-8 minutes per side (for boneless) or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the juices remain locked inside.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add 1 tablespoon of sriracha or 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
