Nif's Honey Grilled Chicken Thighs

Nif's Note:

A sweet, but not too sweet, marinade with an Asian twist. This marinade would work with any chicken pieces and probably pork or salmon, but I had the thighs in the fridge! Easy to put together and great with rice and veggies. Enjoy!

Delish! I took a little 'poetic license' with this recipe (hope you don't mind, Nif), and would like to share my experiment with you...I marinated this, then cut into chunks, and cooked in the wok. I added the marinade and the chicken, so it was glazed and sticky, when finished. So nice and simple, this makes a tasty chicken dish, no matter how you fix it! Made for Best of 2010 tag game. Thanks for sharing, Nif.

This was excellent! I cooked it in the oven instead of on the grill and it was moist and full of flavor. Even my picky 10 year old liked it. I did make a few changes - I used olive oil instead of sesame oil (had olive oil on hand), omitted the sesame seeds (afraid it would be too messy if we used the grill) and instead of ground black pepper, used a few dashes of crushed red pepper. I sprayed a 9x13 glass dish really well and cooked it in the oven. It did not stick at all and clean up was also easy. It was quick and easy! Both my kids told me to make it again soon.

The chicken thighs turned out so tender and delicious and the mix of ingredients went great together!
