Teriyaki Chicken Thighs Recipe
Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (use low-sodium for lower sodium content)
  • 1/4 cup Sweve brown sugar substitute (0 points)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • Chopped scallions (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, Sweve brown sugar substitute, minced garlic, black pepper, and ground ginger.
    • Stir until the brown sugar substitute is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
    • Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
    • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for better flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with gray ash. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Grill the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard the marinade.
    • Place the chicken thighs on the grill.
    • Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
  6. Optional Garnish:
    • If desired, sprinkle additional scallions or sesame seeds over the grilled chicken before serving.
