JoLene’s-Style Inihaw na Hita sa Manok (JoLene’s-Style Chicken Thigh Barbecue)




JoLene’s Inihaw na Hita sa Manok is very simple and easy to make!  With only 3 ingredients for a marinade you already have a perfect mouth-watering dish that conjures a nostalgic feeling of a lazy summer night! So try this out!

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds (approximately 4-5 pieces) chicken thighs
1/8 tsp olive oil

Marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash the chicken thoroughly and place it in a marinating bowl after.
2. Make 3 or 4 1-inch cuts on each side of the chicken thigh.
3. Sprinkle each with black pepper.
4. Massage each chicken thigh with ketchup.
5. Pour the soy sauce on the marinating bowl soaking all the chicken.
6. Marinate and refrigerate overnight.
7. The next day before grilling,  brush the grill with olive oil so that no meat will stick on it.
8. Separate the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
9. Set aside the marinade for basting later.
10. Grill the chicken and start brushing it with the marinade every now and then.
11. Grill the chicken for 15 mins each side or until the thermometer reads 165 F.

SUGGESTIONS:

1. You can also use large resealable pack for marinating the chicken thighs overnight that way all chicken thighs are soaked in the marinade.
2. If grilling more than 4 pieces you can always double the measurement of the marinade.
3. If you want a really sweeter chicken you can add 1 tbsp sugar in the marinade when the chicken thighs are already on the grill.
4. You can also skew the chicken thigh with pre-soaked bamboo sticks.  One stick for each thigh and bamboo sticks presoaked for 30 minutes.
