Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a bag or dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F). Grill thighs 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  4. Rest the chicken on a cutting board 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

If time allows, let the marinated thighs sit on the counter while the grill preheats; taking the chill off helps them cook a little more evenly. The total time does not include marinating, so plan that into your evening.
