HONEY-GLAZED GRILLED THIGHS

Category: Poultry I

12 chicken thighs
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup cream sherry
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup flaked coconut
Salt and a good dash of ground pepper

Remove about half the skin and all the fat from the chicken. Rinse and pat dry. Place in a bowl with lemon juice and let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. Drain, dry, and place in a clean bowl.

Combine all remaining ingredients. Pour over chicken and marinate for 3 hours at room temp or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring chicken to room temperature before grilling.

Grill for 15 minutes, skin side up. Turn and grill skin side down for another 15 minutes, basting frequently with marinade. Turn and grill a final 15 minutes, basting every 3 or 4 minutes. If using breasts, adjust time accordingly.
