A delightful twist on a classic dish, these Honey Soy Glazed Chicken Thighs are juicy, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Combine honey, soy sauce, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a resealable bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to avoid any leaks during marination.
Add the chicken thighs to the bag, seal, and massage to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the chicken will be.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Use a paper towel dipped in oil to grease the grill grates safely.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Avoid flipping the chicken too often to achieve nice grill marks.
Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Boiling the marinade ensures it is safe to use as a glaze.
Brush the grilled chicken with the glaze and serve immediately.
Serve with a garnish of fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
