Soy-Marinated Chicken Thighs

D made this. It was very easy to prep (I could have done that). He liked it better than I for the simple reason that is salty and I'm not head over heels with salt (like I didn't have any in the house before I met D) . We used regular soy sauce because we have like 100 million gallons of the stuff. I thought it needed a "sweet" with it.

However, I still liked it, and there was a lot of flavor, and it was easy. We will have it again.

We had it with rice and Broccoli with Red Pepper Flakes and Toasted Garlic.

Again, if you know where CL buys 8 2-oz chicken thighs, that's great. We used 4 4-oz and had one thigh left over.

Soy-Marinated Chicken Thighs

Soy sauce is great in marinades for grilled meats, as it stands up to charred flavors. The simple solution would also be tasty with steaks, pork tenderloin, or pork chops.

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
8 (2-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 garlic cloves, minced
Cooking spray

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

3. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until done.
