If you’re looking for an easy and inexpensive meal then grilled chicken thighs are a good place to start. This recipe packs a punch with its delicious Teriyaki marinade that penetrates throughout the meat. Followed by a nice char on the grill and smoke flavor.

In this recipe, I swapped for healthier ingredients that are Paleo-friendly, in lieu of store-bought sauces which usually have a lot of sugar.

Teriyaki Marinade:

• 1/2 Cup Coconut Aminos (Use Soy Sauce as substitute)

• 1 Cup Water

• 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger

• 1 Teaspoon Ground Garlic

• 1/8 Cup Coconut Sugar (Use Brown Sugar if not found)

• 1/8 Cup Organic Honey

• 1 Tablespoon of Pineapple Juice

• 1-1/2 Teaspoons of Organic Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar

• 1 Teaspoon of Arrowroot Flour

 Ingredients:

• 4lbs or Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

• 1 Extra Large Resealable Bag or Container

• Oil to Run Grill Grates

• All Grill Types

Feeds:  4-6 People
Prep Time:  10 mins + Overnight
Grill Time:  Varies

Serve w/:  Grilled Vegetables, Mashed Potatoes, or Side Salad
 

Directions:

1. Heat a medium saucepan on Medium-Low heat and mix all marinade ingredients until there are no lumps.
   
   

2. Stir marinade frequently until slightly 1-2 minutes. Then set aside until cooled.

   
   

3. Add chicken thighs to an extra-large resealable bag or container. When marinated is cooled, pour marinade over the chicken making sure to coat all sides. Leave to marinate overnight or for a few hours in your refrigerator.

   
   

4. When ready, preheat your grill, and rub some oil on your grill grates. Grill chicken thighs on your type of grill.
   (Tip: Each grill is unique, so grilling techniques and times will vary. It will most likely fall between 15-20 minutes for the entire 4lbs. Note, marinaded chicken thighs are hard to overcook, so feel free to put a nice char. You can always check the doneness with a thermometer or piercing to see if cooked and no longer pink.)
   
   
   

5. Serve and enjoy!
