This Grilled Balsamic and Soy Chicken Thigh recipe is a delightful and easy-to-make dish perfect for any dinner occasion.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
1 chicken thigh
90g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken thigh in a shallow dish or a suitable plastic zip-lock bag.
- Pour the vinegar and soy sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring the thigh is well-coated.
- Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and have a slight coating of ash.
- If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10 minutes.
4. Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken thigh from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Place the chicken thigh on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side without moving it to create nice grill marks.
- Flip the chicken thigh using tongs and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
5. Rest the Chicken:
- Remove the grilled chicken thigh from the grill and let it rest on a plate for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.
6. Serve:
- Once rested, slice the chicken thigh or serve it whole. Pair with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Marinate the chicken thigh for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

- Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices and ensure maximum flavor.

- If grilling outside is not an option, you can use a grill pan or broil the chicken in the oven for similar results.

- Serve the chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced and nutritious meal.
