Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1 cup Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Coconut vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 stalks Lemongrass, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, coconut aminos, coconut vinegar, and coconut oil. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, onion powder, and chopped lemongrass to create the marinade.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.
Step 3
Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for enhanced flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Step 6
Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 15-18 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Flip the chicken and continue basting, grilling for another 15-17 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of low-carb sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
