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
