Ingredients
2-5 lb Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)

Add chicken, coat well, and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Preheat grill to medium heat (375°F). Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess.
Grill uncovered for 15 minutes or until fully cooked, brushing frequently with extra marinade.
For extra caramelization, switch to broil mode for 2-3 minutes at end.

Marinate up to 24 hours for deeper flavor
Substitute regular soy sauce if preferred
