INGREDIENTS:

6 chicken thighs (you can use bone-in or boneless)

2 pounds new potatoes

2 tablespoons butter (or to your taste)

Kosher salt to taste

MARINADE INGREDIENTS:

4 teaspoons brown sugar

2 teaspoon ground allspice

2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup garlic-infused olive oil

1/4 cup gluten-free low sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice

2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 thinly sliced scallions, green part only

4 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger

4 teaspoons finely diced jalapeno peppers

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl or jar and whisk or shake to combine.

Put your chicken in one layer in a shallow pan or in a Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade in with the chicken and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

When ready to cook, preheat your grill or smoker to 400 degrees F. Lay your chicken in one layer and grill or smoke until done

Bone-in chicken thighs should take about 35 minutes to grill at 400 degrees. If you’re using boneless chicken thighs – they’ll only take about 15-20 minutes. Always check the temperature of your meat before taking it off the grill. Chicken should reach 160 degrees F before you remove them from the grill and they’ll continue to heat up once you remove them and get to the target of 165 degrees F.

Meanwhile, wash your potatoes and cut them in half unless they are quite small. Put in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and boil until potatoes are fork-tender. When ready, remove from heat, drain and put in a serving bowl. Toss with butter and salt to taste.

Serve with a side salad if you like. You’ll find plenty of salad options right here!
