WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
Marinade:
- 1 head of garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp. soy sauce
- 4 tbsp. sugar
- 1 can Sprite
- 1 lemon (or lime), juiced
BBQ Sauce:
- 1 batch of marinade
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
HOW TO MAKE IT:
- In a large bowl combine all of the marinade ingredients. Rinse chicken in cold water and add to marinade. Cover and chill for at least 12 hours.
- Make BBQ sauce (can be done in advance when you make the marinade) by combining a fresh batch of the marinade, ketchup and worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop. In a small container, whisk cornstarch together with about 1 tbsp. of water. Pour cornstarch mixture into the BBQ sauce and whisk until sauce has thickened.
- Preheat grill. Brush with oil. Remove chicken from marinade and place on hot grill. Cook for 5-8 minutes, brush with BBQ sauce and flip. Brush with sauce again and cook for another 5-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
