Best chicken marinade ever - Dirty P's Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs

This is probably my favorite chicken marinade ever.  I let it go for a full 24-hour marinade, and I always grill the chicken when it's done.  It works well on drumsticks as well, but it works best on thighs.

Don't forget to oil the grate of the grill to get those perfect grill marks.  First heat the grill, then use tongs to wipe the grill with paper towels dipped in canola oil.  Because modern chicken thighs from the supermarket are usually so ridiculously huge, you may need to grill for more time than the recipe calls for.

Dirty P's Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs


Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for the grill

Directions

Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, juice and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grate. Grill the chicken skin-side down until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
