Grilled Balsamic Maple Glazed Chicken Thighs or Breast Strips (Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 2 or 3 strips each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 cup, plus 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- Stir together in a medium bowl the olive oil, garlic powder, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, salt, pepper, thyme and oregano.
- Pat dry the chicken thighs or chicken strips and add to the bowl and marinate for 1 - 1 ½ hours at room temperature (or in the refrigerator in warm temperatures).
Instructions for Grilling:
- Set the gas grill to medium high and preheat for 6-8 minutes. Grill the chicken, turning to char both sides, for a total of 9 - 10 minutes for chicken breast strips and 15 - 20 minutes for boneless thighs. These times vary depending on the heat of the grill and the size of chicken.
Instructions for Baking:
- You could also oven cook these in the oven, but foil line the pan because it will get very stuck on from the maple syrup. Bake in a 425 oven for 8-10 minutes for chicken breast strips or 18-23 for boneless skinless chicken thighs. Check temperature with a meat thermometer for doneness.
