Edit Note

Worthy of a Special Occasion

Soy sauce is great in marinades for grilled meats, as it stands up to charred flavors. The simple solution would also be tasty with steaks, pork tenderloin, or pork chops.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 thighs)

Ingredients

  • 3  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  extravirgin olive oil
  • 2  teaspoons  chopped fresh thyme
  • 8  (2-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

3. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until done.
