Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup apple cider
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 9 tablespoons lemon juice
• 10 drops hot pepper sauce, or more to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup apple jelly

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine apple cider, apple jelly, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir just until jelly melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let marinade cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Place chicken thighs and marinade into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and let marinate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade.

Step 4

Grill chicken thighs until no longer pink in the centers, turning frequently being careful not to let chicken burn, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
