Preparation

Step 1

• Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a
small bowl or measuring cup. Reserve ¼
cup marinade to use as a basting sauce for
chicken while grilling. Pour remaining
marinade (about ½ cup) over chicken
thighs in a small glass baking dish. Turn
chicken pieces over several times to coat
evenly with marinade. Cover with plastic
wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least
8 hours or overnight.

• Preheat grill to medium heat setting and
lightly brush with oil. (Note: You must grill
the chicken over medium heat to avoid
burning it. Marinades containing honey
burn easily over high heat.) Grill chicken
thighs for about 10 minutes per side with
bbq lid closed. Based generously with
reserved marinade during last 2 minutes of
cooking time. Serve immediately.
