Description

A savory marinade that combines honey and soy sauce for grilled chicken that is juicy and flavorful.


Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken thighs inside a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated.
  4. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though overnight yields the best flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
  7. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Ensure juices run clear.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy every bite!

Notes

For optimal flavor, allow your chicken to marinate overnight. Avoid flipping the chicken too often on the grill for nice sear marks.
