Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika (Optional)

  • 5 pounds skinless chicken thighs


Directions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove chicken thighs from marinade; discard remaining marinade.

  4. Grill chicken thighs on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
