Ingredients

  • 6-8 6-8 Chicken thighs – boneless, skinless, frozen or thawed

  • Marinade – Equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup 1/4 brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup 1/4 soy sauce

  • Optional Additional Seasonings
  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 black pepper (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic powder (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 onion powder

Directions

  • MARINATE: Marinate the chicken thighs in the rest of ingredients for 30 minutes to 12 hours, covered and refrigerated. If using frozen chicken, let the chicken thaw in the marinade before grilling. For bulk chicken, can marinate directly in the bag.
  • GRILL: Grill chicken on medium heat, for about 10 minutes on each side, flipping once, until no longer gummy when pressed and juices run clear. When cut open, inside will no longer be pink.

Notes

  • For Paleo or Keto, substitute or omit the brown sugar.
  • Serve with Rice! Here’s my best method for cooking rice: https://recipesbyanawhite.com/instant-pot-rice/
  • Leftover marinate can be made into a glazing sauce. Heat in small sauce pan with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp vinegar, and 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken.
  • GUMMY? Raw meat will be gummy when pressed. Cooked meat will be firm and spring back when pressed.

  1. I cooked this last night, I marinated for 24 hours. I was a bit wary about the amount of sugar, but it turned out very good.
