Neapolitan Herb Chicken Thighs

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, trim the fat


• 2 Tbsp J. Olive Co. Neapolitan Herb Balsamic


• 1/4 cup J. Olive Co. EVOO


• Juice from a 1/2 lemon


• 1/4 cup brown sugar


• 2 tsp minced garlic


• 2 dashes of hot sauce


• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a Ziploc bag, mix all ingredients. Add chicken thighs and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 min. For best flavor, allow the meat to marinate for 2-12 hours before grilling. After marinating, allow the chicken to sit, covered in the bag of marinade for 15-20 minutes while the grill preheats.


2. 
   
   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat on one side, or if using charcoal, arrange pieces into a two-zone fire with briquettes underneath half of the grill grate.


3. 
   
   Sear chicken thighs over lit side of grill 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.


4. 
   
   Move chicken pieces to unlit side of grill and cook, covered, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.


5. 
   
   Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
