Paleo Beer Brined BBQ Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 bottle of paleo-friendly beer
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, for a touch of sweetness
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Paleo-friendly BBQ sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the paleo-friendly beer, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, coconut aminos, honey if using, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper
Stir until well combined
Add the chicken thighs to the brine mixture, making sure they are fully submerged
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat
Remove the chicken thighs from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels
Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken thighs with the paleo-friendly BBQ sauce, flipping them once or twice to ensure the sauce caramelizes and coats the chicken evenly
Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is caramelized, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving
Serve the paleo beer-brined BBQ chicken thighs hot with your favorite paleo-friendly sides
