Maple Glazed Chicken Thighs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 skinless chicken thighs or 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, all visible fat removed
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced (medium sized)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Mix together all ingredients save the thighs in a resealable bag or non reactive container. Add thighs and seal. Marinade in the fridge for 2 to 24 hours.
When ready to cook, prepare the cooking surface with a light coating of cooking spray or oil. Remove the thighs from the marinade removing any excess.
Place thighs on the grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Actual cooking time will vary depending on the type of grill chosen. Remove chicken to a serving plate.
Place the marinade in a small sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to a low simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
Generously brush the chicken with the sauce and serve.
