Garlic Ginger Chicken Thighs

I've mentioned before how much I love to grill. During the Summer, of course, but I like to keep my grill active all year long. Food cooked on a grill delivers extra flavor and color that other methods of cooking just can't. 

Today's recipe is a Garlic Ginger Chicken Thigh with a glaze reminiscent of Asian cuisine. These succulent pieces of chicken bathe overnight in the deliciousness of this sauce which is both the marinade and basting liquid.

Garlic Ginger Chicken Thighs

Level: Easy

Time: 30 minutes active

24 hours inactive

Ingredients

1 lb boneless chicken thighs

(other chicken pieces will work, but I like the flavor of the thighs best)

1/4 Cup packed brown sugar

1/4 Cup low sodium soy sauce

Juice from 1/2 lemon

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions

 Mix all ingredients together except chicken thighs. 

Place thighs in a Ziploc bag, pour in liquid mixture, and remove all air possible. Place in a container in refrigerator over night, turning over occasionally.

The next day....

Preheat your grill to medium-low

Place the chicken thighs on the grill, reserving the liquid. Turn occasionally, basting generously with the marinade mixture.

Cook thighs thoroughly, until a thermometer, inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, reads 165°.

 Baste one last time before removing from grill.

 This goes wonderfully with a buttered baked potato and fresh corn on the cob.
