I did the grill today. Chicago was a balmy 61 degrees, YAY!!! I'm a January child. I used a basic marinade of ginger, garlic, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a few more ingredients. I left the skin on because my kids love the crispy skin. Cooked indirectly over medium coals they filled the bill. A green salad and cheddar biscuits set it off. Good eating.

The marinade for these chicken thighs is fabulous! The fresh orange and ginger root are what really makes it special. You taste the sweetness from the orange, balanced with some spice from the ginger and salty from the soy sauce. I marinated them overnight, and they were so juicy when they came off the grill.
NOTE: Iris mentions to baste the chicken with the reduced marinade. I reduced the marinade by bringing it to a boil and stirring for about 15-20 minutes.
