Description
Delicious grilled boneless chicken thighs marinated for maximum flavor and tenderness, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional, like rosemary or thyme)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your marinade. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
- Add the boneless chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- When ready to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove the thighs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor significantly. Avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking.
