Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil

For the marinade:

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. Crosby’s Fancy Molasses or our Maple + Molasses
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. dry oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a sauce pan and stir well. Pour 3 Tbsp. into a zip-lock bag or baking dish and add chicken. Toss the chicken until it’s well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes (if you have time) or up to 12 hours.
  2. Bring remaining marinade to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat (either stovetop or barbecue) until cooked through, basting often with the remaining marinade.
  4. Tent chicken with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
