Secret Recipe Grilled Chicken
Marinated Barbecued Chicken

This is an easy and tasty BBQ chicken marinade.
It uses something as simple as salad dressing
that makes an effective marinade for chicken.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons bottled Italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons clover honey
1 lime, juice and zest of
2 teaspoons garlic powder
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Directions:
Whisk together the first 5 ingredients
and put in a gallon-size sealable freezer bag.
Drop the chicken thighs in the bag and seal it shut,
squeezing out as much air as possible.
Massage the bag briefly to distribute
the marinade evenly over the meat.
Place in a bowl and marinate for
90 minutes or up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
Preheat only one half the grill until very hot.
When the grill is hot, lift the thighs out of the
marinade and place them skin side down on the unheated side.
Baste with some of the leftover marinade.
Close the grill cover, leave vents wide open if you have them.
After 15 minutes, flip the chicken over so the
skin side is up and re-baste. Continue cooking, covered,
another 10 to 20 minutes until nearly done. Remove the lid.
If the skin doesn't have a rich, golden color,
sear the thighs skin-side down over
the hot side of the grill for several seconds.
If the flames flare up, move the meat immediately
so they don't blacken the skin.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
