Honey Soy Grilled Chicken Thighs ~ Potluck Sunday

With the weather being as hot as it is, I have been trying to take advantage of grilling outside as much as possible. Yesterday was a whopping 104 degrees and the rest of the week doesn't look much better. If you like hot, humid sticky weather then Texas is your place.

Me, I have lived her for 21 years and I still can't get used to summers in Texas. One of my favorite meats to grill is chicken. You can marinate it in so many different flavors and it always turns out perfect. My two favorite grilled chicken recipes are Honey & Lime Chicken and Honey Soy Grilled Chicken.

The flavors of honey, soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger are the perfect combination. The first time I tasted honey soy chicken was when I lived in Hawaii. That was the sauce mom always used when she wanted to grill chicken. Another favorite of ours was Bulgogi , which I still need to share with y'all and I will the next time I make it. 

 While living in Hawaii I was exposed to many different cuisines, Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese and Filipino. It was no surprise that my mother learned to cook quite a few of the local dishes while we lived there. I really do miss all the flavors of Hawaii, but it's nice to be able to make them myself every once in awhile. I hope you enjoy today's potluck recipe.

Marinate the chicken in a shallow baking dish or a gallon size zip lock bag.

I especially loved chicken grilled because it gets nice and charred on the outside, but juicy and tender on the inside. Enjoy!!
