Ingredients

• 8 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps to achieve a good sear.

Step 5

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley for added flavor.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the chicken barbecue warm with your favorite paleo-friendly sides.
