Scale

- 2 Tbsp soy sauce

- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp liquid smoke

- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Notes
You can substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts for the thighs. Marinate as directed, then bake at 425°F for 18–25 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. For more even cooking, pound thicker breasts to a uniform thickness before marinating. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it nice and juicy.
To grill chicken: Heat grill to 425° F and cook chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side.
