Grilling chicken is an art form and it takes longer to cook than when cooking red meat or fish. Since chicken thighs have a little more fat, they will stay moist and juicier than if using a leaner part of the chicken, such as the breast. This is the tastiest and Easiest 2-Ingredient Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Thighs recipe.

What to Eat the Chicken With?
There are so many options but we made the Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Thighs with:

Grilled Vegetable and Fruit Shish Kebabs
*You can use any marinade with the shish kebabs, but we used the same teriyaki marinade for convenience, flavor, and consistency. The shish kebabs were phenomenal.

We also eat the chicken thighs with Rice.

What Grill We Use:

We use the Weber Spirit S-315 Liquid Propane Gas Stainless Steel Grill because it heats up quickly. It’s easy to clean. It has a lot of space to keep the food warm and away from the direct heat if needed. And the grill has a cool fuel gage so you know how much gas you have left.

What Teriyaki Sauce We Use:

*You can use any brand of teriyaki sauce you prefer, but we used Less Sodium Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce.
