Shoyu Chicken BBQ

Enjoy the deep flavors of Shoyu Chicken with a BBQ twist. The soy-based marinade gives the meat flavor and depth, and grilling gives it a smoky flavor. Great for a quick and tasty meal outside

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sriracha optional

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and sriracha if using to create the marinade

Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them

Ensure chicken is well-coated

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor

Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat

Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place on the preheated grill

Reserve the marinade for basting

Grill chicken for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, and basting with the reserved marinade until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C and the skin is crispy and caramelized

Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving
