Orange Ginger Grilled Chicken Thighs Recipes

ORANGE GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk orange zest and juice, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, cilantro, salt, cayenne, and pepper. Add the olive oil, whisking constantly until combined.
• Transfer ¼ cup of the orange-ginger mixture to a separate small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Add the chicken to the bowl with the remaining orange marinade and toss them in the sauce. Marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat your gas grill with all burners on high and close the lid. When the grill is hot (after about 15 minutes), turn the 2 burners closest to the front to low, keeping the back burner on high. Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange on the grates over the low heat burners.
• Cover and cook until the underside of the chicken is just beginning to develop light grill marks, 6 to 9 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and continue to cook until the chicken is firm to touch, 6 to 9 minutes longer. To get a nice char on the chicken, now move the chicken to the part of the grill over high flames and cook uncovered until each side has solid grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway.
• The chicken should be completely firm to the touch and register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Stir the refrigerated orange-ginger sauce and drizzle or brush it on the chicken before serving.
