Thank you for supporting those that make The Recipe Rebel possible! Summer grilling season is here and we are so excited! While we enjoy our share of burgers and hot dogs, we spend so much time cooking outside in the summer that we love to find new ways to mix it up. Is there anything better than a meal off the grill and a big glass of Homemade Lemonade? Serve with any of these 30 Pasta Salad Recipes for the perfect summer meal. I based this grilled chicken thigh recipe off of one of our favorite grilled chicken breast recipes — we love a sweet, salty and slightly tangy chicken marinade! As always, I choose canola oil in all of my marinades because it’s inexpensive and has a neutral flavor that goes with anything! It’s our go-to oil in the kitchen because it’s easy to use, has a high smoke point, and packs a nutritional punch that most culinary oils don’t. With less saturated fat and more plant-based Omega-3 fat than any other common culinary oils (yep, I’m looking at you, olive oil), it’s an easy decision for our family!

What’s in this chicken thigh marinade?
How to grill chicken thighs: tips and tricks!
Can I use bone in chicken thighs?
Absolutely! This marinade is great on bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but any meat with a bone will cook significantly longer. 15-20 minutes should be about right, but this depends on the exact cooking temperature, how often the grill is opened, and the size of the chicken thighs. The most important factor in doneness is the internal temperature, so be sure that it is 165 degrees F in the thickest part, with the thermometer not touching the bone.
What about other cuts of chicken?
Yes to this, too! This marinade is great on chicken breasts, drumsticks, chicken legs or even pork tenderloin or turkey breast. Exact cook times will vary, so be sure to use a meat thermometer to check for the correct temperature in any type of meat.
