Scale
Chicken
- 8 - 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Marinade
- 12 ounces beer
- 3 tablespoons BBQ dry rub
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: Stir the beer, BBQ dry rub, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and coarse salt together in a large bowl until well combined.
- Marinate Chicken: Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, cover the bowl tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature around 375°F to 450°F to ensure proper cooking.
- Prepare Chicken for Grilling: Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to promote a better sear and prevent flare-ups during grilling.
- Grill Chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 7 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for an additional 7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute for moist and tender meat.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken thighs on a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Patting the chicken dry before grilling helps achieve a nice char and prevents sticking.
- Adjust the amount of BBQ dry rub according to your preferred spice level.
