Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup apple cider
  2. ½ cup apple jelly
  3. 9 tablespoons lemon juice
  4. 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  5. 10 drops hot pepper sauce, or more to taste
  6. 2 teaspoons salt
  7. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  8. 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Instructions

  1. Combine apple cider, apple jelly, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir just until jelly melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let marinade cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  2. Place chicken thighs and marinade into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade.
  4. Grill chicken thighs until no longer pink in the centers, turning frequently being careful not to let chicken burn, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. If using frozen skin-on thighs, I like to remove skins when they are halfway defrosted, so they’re easier to handle.
  6. This is better if marinated for 4 hours.

Light in flavor but the chicken flavor still stands. I would baste the chicken next time while grilling. Very juicy and great for colder weather.
