BBQ Soy Ginger Chicken Thighs

Step 1

Trim your chicken thighs of any extra fat and set aside in a bowl or large resealable bag.

Step 2

Whisk all the marinade ingredients together well. The ginger takes a while to dissolve so if you’re in a hurry, you can microwave those for 30 seconds first! Pour marinade over chicken. I also like to pound the chicken a little at this point for even thickness. I just pound it in the ziplock with my fist like a cavewoman. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and as long as overnight. If you go longer and it’s cold from the fridge, let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before you cook to let it come closer to room temperature for better cooking.

Step 3

Remove chicken from the marinade and sprinkle each side with a generous pinch of kosher salt and a little pepper.Cook on a preheated grill, indoor grill pan, or skillet over medium/high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temp reaches 165°. You can also air fry at 400° for about 15-18 minutes, flipping half-way through

Step 4

Let rest for a few minutes, sprinkle with extra chopped chives and enjoy! We love this in any asian style salad or rice bowl.
