Marinated Grilled Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

1/4 Cup Olive Oil

Juice of 1 Lemon

Juice of 1 Lime

2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

2 teaspoons Onion Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

1/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar

2 Pounds Bone in Skin on Chicken Thighs about 8 total

 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mustard, soy sauce, and brown sugar.

Trim fat from the chicken as necessary. Add the chicken thighs to a large zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat for a few seconds to make sure the meat is coated.

Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 6 hours before grilling. After marinating, allow the chicken to sit, covered in the bag of marinade for 15-20 minutes while the grill preheats.

Preheat the grill to settings for medium-high heat on one side, or if using charcoal, arrange pieces into a two-zone fire with briquettes underneath half of the grill grate.

Sear chicken thighs over lit side of grill 2-3 minutes per side until skin turns golden brown, taking care not to char.

Move chicken pieces to unlit side of grill and cook, covered, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes before serving
