Grilled Shoyu Lime Chicken


  • Author: She's Almost Always Hungry
  • Total Time: 2 hours, 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Description

For best results, use a gas or charcoal grill. The chicken can be broiled in an oven but it won’t have the same grilled, smoky flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/4 cup shoyu (soy sauce), low-sodium variety is okay

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1/4 cup olive oil

Optional: chopped garlic or chopped ginger, to taste


Instructions

Place the chicken in a zip top bag.

In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together then pour into the zip top bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight. You can flip the bag to redistribute the marinade but it’s not necessary.

Bring the chicken out of the refrigerator 10-15 minutes before you start grilling. Place on a hot grill for about 10 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F).

Notes

The marinade amounts are easily adjusted up or down based on the amount of chicken you use.

Lemon juice can be substituted for lime juice but it won’t have the same zing. Always use freshly squeezed juice, don’t use the bottled stuff.
