Ingredients

1 pound chicken thighs boneless, skinless
¼ cup Soy Sauce shoyu, or tamari
½ teaspoon dried ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

With a sharp knife, trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Place a piece of plastic wrap large enough to cover the thighs on a flat surface. Place the chicken thighs on top, then cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound the chicken to tenderize the meat and even out the thickness of each piece.
Then, add the thighs to a medium-sized bowl with the dried seasonings and soy sauce. Using your hands, rub the dry ingredients into the chicken until fully coated. Let it sit for 5-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, heat the grill on medium-high heat between 375F and 400F.
Using tongs, place the seasoned chicken onto the hot grill grates, cook for 5-6 minutes with the grill closed, then flip the thighs over, and cook for 5-6 more minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches 165F) with the grill open.
Remove from the grill with tongs and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite side dishes.
