Ingredients

chicken thighs
700 g
garlic cloves
4 cloves
ketchup
0.5 cup
brown sugar
0.3 cup
soy sauce
0.3 cup
apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.

Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a separate small bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate it to use later as the glaze for basting.

Add the chicken thighs to the remaining marinade and turn until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, and up to 48 hours.

When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill grates with vegetable or canola oil, then preheat the grill to medium heat.

Lift the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Discard the used marinade.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes, until the underside is deeply golden and caramelized.
