Soy Chicken Thighs

This is the chicken that I served with my Red Cabbage Salad the other night.  I found this recipe on a blog called “Good Things Catered”, Recipes from a casual cook turned caterer turned back again. 

I just sort of stumbled across this blog while searching for Asian style chicken recipes and decided to give it a go, after all blog recipes are where it’s at these days;). 

I pretty much stuck to the recipe… it was pretty simple. Just mix up a few ingredients, marinade, and pop it on the grill. This chicken has a nice bit of sweetness with just a kiss of spice… very delcious!!

The bottom line, yet another quick, simple and delicious meal… just the way I like em’… Enjoy!

Soy Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless, chicken thighs, trimmed of any excess fat
½ cup of soy sauce
¼ cup of brown sugar
2 tbsp of rice vinegar
2 tbsp of lime juice
1 tsp of grated ginger
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of toasted sesame oil

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a shallow baking dish.  Add chicken and be sure it is coated with the marinade before popping in the fridge for an hour or so (you could probably get away with thirty minutes if you had to).

Place on a hot grill or grill pan and cook for about six minutes on one side and then flip and cook about ten on the other.  Allow the chicken to rest for about 5-10 minutes before eating!

Enjoy! 

Serves 6.

    That chicken looks nicely grilled. It it just slightly charred, the way I like it. The red cabbage adds a nice colour to the dish.

    That looks wonderful. I’m definitely adding this to next Saturday’s cookout menu . . . for 25 people! We have two Easter birthdays in the family this year–a 65th and an 88th! I’ll report back.

    This looks simply delish Dani. The wonderful colour kinda reminds me of spicy Tandoori Chicken. I love a simple grill chicken recipe and this one is surely going into my must-try file!
