Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Make the marinade. Add the coconut aminos, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to a small bowl or jar and mix well to combine.
2. Marinate your chicken. Add chicken to a large baking dish or plastic bag and pour over marinate. Mix well to combine. If desired you can turn/mix chicken every few hours to ensure coating. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
3. Grill. Heat grill to medium-high heat (around 400-450 degrees). Once hot, place chicken close to direct heat and grill for 6-8 minutes. Flip and move to indirect heat (not directly over fire/coals) and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on how thick your thighs are, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes.
4. Enjoy! Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
