Ingredients:

• 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
5. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and have a nice char.
6. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve warm, drizzled with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
