Juicy Killer Chicken Thigh Marinade

Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey (or brown sugar), apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill, oven, or skillet.
- If grilling, cook the thighs over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
- If using a skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat and cook the thighs for about 6-7 minutes per side.
Rest and Serve:
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.

Optional Add-ins: Feel free to add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad to complement the juicy chicken.
Storage: If you have leftover marinade, it can be brought to a boil and used as a sauce over the chicken (ensure it’s cooked thoroughly).

This Juicy Killer Chicken Thigh Marinade will make your chicken thighs juicy, flavorful, and a hit at any dinner table! Enjoy!
