Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb Chicken Thighs boneless, skinless
- Sea Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice optional
Marinade
- 4 Cloves of Garlic
- ¼ Cup Honey or maple syrup
- ¼ Cup Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 ½ tsp Dried Rosemary
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry. Add salt and pepper and rub it in.
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a large glass bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and spoon the marinade over it so it is covered on all sides.
- Cover and refrigerate the chicken for 3-6 hours or overnight.
- Remove chicken from the fridge and set your oven to broil on high (500-550℉).
- Place the chicken in a single layer on a steel (or other metal) baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade in the bowl for later.
- Broil the chicken for 6 minutes on one side. Once the 6 minutes is done, flip the chicken and then pour the reserved marinade over it. Broil for another 6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165℉.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting and serving. For the best flavor, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the chicken.
