Equipment
- Grill
- Grill tongs
- 9x13 Pan or a Large Bowl
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 2 jars Favorite Teriyaki Sauce (I love Aldi's)
Instructions
- Fire up the grill on high with the lid closed until preheated to 400 degrees.
- While the grill preheats, grab a 9x13 pan (tip: line it with plastic cling wrap for easy cleanup)
- Put thawed chicken thighs in the pan and cover with 1 jar of teriyaki sauce.Flipping the thighs until completely covered on all sides.
- Take your juicy thighs out to the grill and reduce the flame to medium/high.(Every grill is different. The meat should be on direct heat (ie above the flame) but the flames should not be engulfing the meat.)
- Depending on the size of your thighs, cook for approximately 15/20 minutes, flipping half way through. (OR until the internal temperature reaches 165°F)
- If you lined the pan, go ahead throw away the plastic wrap to reveal a clean pan for the finished meat to go in.
- remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.
- Serve whole or cut into strips.
Notes
Chicken Thighs are not optional in this recipe! Boneless skinless breasts will not have the same results.
