CHICKEN THIGHS

best balsamic

⭐️ 1/4 c balsamic vinegar ⭐️ 2 tbsp coconut aminos ⭐️ 2 tbsp olive oil ⭐️ 1 tsp kosher salt ⭐️ 1 tsp italian seasoning ⭐️ 1/2 tsp garlic powder ⭐️ 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, fat deposits trimmed

INGREDIENTS

⭐️ don't marinate more than 12 hours - the acid can make the meat too tough. ⭐️ marinating 2 hours is the sweet spot! ⭐️ use an instant read thermometer to check for doneness - 165°F is perfect.

PRO TIPS!

⭐️ Yes! With notes... ⭐️ Chicken breasts can quickly dry out on a grill, but marinating helps. Marinate at least 2 hours.  ⭐️ Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1") for even cooking.  ⭐️ Increase cooking time to 6-7 minutes per side.
