Ingredients
•
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
•
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
•
1 teaspoon ground paprika
•
5 pounds skinless chicken thighs
Directions
1
Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, water, onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika together 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).
