Take-out Tuesday, Sweet Orange BBQ Chicken Thighs
This recipe,
inspired and adapted from my friend Lynn @happierthanapiginmud
is perfect for an easy and delicious summer meal
Our favorite part of the chicken is the thighs,
skinless boneless thighs are not only inexpensive,
they stay juicy
and have so much more flavor than boneless chicken breasts
The sauce is so simple and so incredibly good,
and only 4 ingredients!
Mix equal parts orange marmalade with your favorite BBQ sauce,
add a dash of soy sauce and garlic powder to taste,
and get the grill going!
Grill the chicken until it is almost done
Then brush the chicken with sauce and cook for a few more minutes
Time depends on the size of the chicken pieces,
and grill temperature, and whether you’re cooking direct or indirect…
Use a thermometer to check doneness,
you want it to read 165 degrees F
HHjr followed this method here
We had this chicken with a side of Broccoli Candy
{roasted broccoli with Parmesan, lemon & garlic, YUM}
A great start to summer grilling season!
