Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the chicken and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the BBQ chicken hot with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, grilled vegetables, or corn on the cob.
