Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken thighs
• 1 cup BBQ sauce

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of BBQ sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.

2. 2

   Place the 2 pounds of chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

   Brush the grill grates with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

   Flip the chicken thighs and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

   While grilling, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt for added flavor.

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

    Slice the green onions and sprinkle over the grilled chicken before serving for a fresh garnish.
