AIP, Paleo, Whole 30 option, Gluten-Free, Soy Free

This AIP Paleo Asian Grilled Chicken has so much flavor & easy to make! Can’t get much better than that! Perfect for entertaining & summer grilling. 

The sauce is so simple, just honey, ACV, coconut aminos, oil, a little garlic & ginger. You probably already have the ingredients in your pantry! They’re all staples in mine!

Of course, I’m lucky that my dad has beehives & I have very fresh local raw honey year-round. 

Ingredients:

• 6 Organic Chicken Thighs or Legs or both (I used boneless thighs only because I couldn’t find any with the bone & skin)
• 1/4 c. Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/4 c. Coconut Amino’s
• 1/2-1 tsp. Ground Ginger (to taste, I like a lot)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 – 1/2 c. Raw Honey (to taste depending on how sweet you want it) (Sub. Blended Dates for Whole 30. See tip below)
• 2-3 Tbs. Avocado Oil or EVOO for AIP. (If Paleo can use Sesame Oil)
• Optional: Paleo Only- add 1 tsp. of sesame seeds
• Optional -Paleo Only- can add red pepper flakes for a little kick

Directions:

• Put the chicken in a Ziploc bag or large bowl.
• Mix all the other ingredients in a measuring cup and whisk until mixed thoroughly.
• Pour over chicken and put in the refrigerator and marinate at least an hour before cooking. The longer the better, turning often to marinate both sides.
• When ready to cook take the chicken out of the refrigerator & preheat grill. 
• When the grill is ready add chicken to grill.
• Cook on one side until browning then flip & brown on the other side until juices are running clear. About 20 to 30 minutes.

Tip:

• If you don’t have a grill you can bake in the oven at 400* turning until brown on both sides & juices running clear. (about 30-40 min) or you can use an indoor grill like this one. 
• You can absolutely double or triple this recipe
• For Whole 30, put all marinade ingredients except honey in a blender. Add 2-4 dates to taste & blend. 

Serving Suggestions:

• Grilled AIP Zucchini & Squash
• Paleo AIP Rosemary Garlic Sweet Potato Fries
• Sauteed Garlic Green Beans

Here is a picture of some Chicken Legs I did in the oven. So Yummy! I did add sesame seeds to this one. (leave out for AIP)
