Grilled Asian Chicken Thighs

These Grilled Asian Chicken Thighs are infused with a delightful blend of traditional Asian flavors and a hint of creativity. Marinated in a savory soy sauce, ginger, and garlic mixture, the chicken becomes tender and flavorful, while a touch of honey adds a subtle sweetness. Grilled to perfection, these thighs are juicy on the inside with a beautiful char on the outside, making them a perfect centerpiece for any meal.

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
