Equipment

  • Gallon-sized zip top bag or large bowl
  • Grill
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (907 g) chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (59 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (24 g) brown sugar substitute (allulose, erythritol, or monk fruit)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a gallon-sized plastic bag until combined.
  • Add the chicken and shake gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to 375° F (190° C).
  • Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 20 minutes (for boneless chicken thighs) or 35 minutes (for bone-in chicken thighs), flipping once. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165° F (74° C).
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken thighs before grilling can add flavor and helps to keep them moist.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Keep an eye on the internal temperature and don't go over 165° F.
  • Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute which helps keep the chicken moist.
  • Oven: Bake in the preheated oven at 375° F, basting occasionally, for about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165° F (74° C).
