A flavorful grilled chicken recipe marinated in a sweet and savory lemon soy sauce mixture, resulting in juicy, tender chicken with a perfect balance of citrus and soy flavors.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except for the chicken.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure they are completely coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes on the counter, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook, turning every 5 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 20-25 minutes.

Notes

  • For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts if preferred, but the cooking time will vary slightly.
  • To achieve crispy skin, avoid flipping the chicken too frequently on the grill.
