Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1 cup Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Coconut vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 stalks Lemongrass, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, coconut aminos, coconut vinegar, and coconut oil. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, onion powder, and chopped lemongrass to create the marinade.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.
Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for enhanced flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 15-18 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Flip the chicken and continue basting, grilling for another 15-17 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
