Orange-Ginger Grilled Chicken Thighs

I hope everyone had a fun, relaxing and safe holiday weekend!

It should be no secret by now that I’m a fan of ginger. I am always looking for recipes that call for ginger as one of the main components of the dish. Generally, chicken breast are my go-to cut of chicken, but chicken thighs are a welcome change from the norm. Bone-in chicken thighs can add tons of moisture and flavor if cooked correctly.  Next time around I think I will add in the zest of the orange as well.  All the flavors were there, but the orange was a little muted. This is another meal that is light and fresh, allowing you to stay out of the kitchen, enjoy the outdoors and let your grill do all the work!
