Scale
Marinade:
- 1 12-ounce can 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
Chicken:
- 8 - 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- Prepare the 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 the chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Pat dry the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat them dry to ensure good grilling and browning.
- Grill the chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F, ensuring they are cooked through and juicy.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee the chicken is cooked safely to 165˚F.
- Patting the chicken dry before grilling helps achieve a nice sear and prevents flare-ups.
- You can substitute the beer with sparkling water or apple juice for a non-alcoholic version.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the chicken thighs in a grill pan on the stovetop.
