Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Grilling

  1. 1

    Marinating the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Adding Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grilling the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
