• Place chicken thighs and marinade into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and let marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade.
• 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).

APPLE GINGER CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• In a 4-6 cup volume bowl whisk together apple juice, apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil.
• Next whisk in the honey.
• It is helpful to use the same measuring cup that you just measured the vegetable oil in, to allow the honey to easily slide out.
• Continue whisking until combined.
• Whisk 1 tbsp ginger.
• Mince 3-4 garlic cloves according to size of cloves and taste.
• Whisk in garlic.
• Marinade 4-8 chicken breasts, depending on size, in large lidded bowl or disposable zip top baggie.
• This makes a lot, over 2 1/2 cups, but with these ingredients on hand, its easy to mix up more if you need it.
• Marinate chicken at least 8 hours in refrigerator.
• Grill or bake as desired.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR MARINADE FOR CHICKEN BARBAJA W.

Steps:

• Remove chicken from package (or if living in a country where chicken is really fresh, remove feathers, entrails (do not crush any bits) head, feet and wingtips and tail).
• In a large bowl or clean sink put the chicken or cut up pieces of meat then pour on cold water until covered then add 1/2 cup of table salt or use less and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar.
• Move the chicken around gently in this mixture for 10 to 15 minutes. Less time is ok if you see that the skin hangs loose on the meat.
• You can add sugar or brown sugar, molasses, honey, karo syrup, pancake syrup or artificial sweetner to the soak, but that and the salt are a matter of taste.
• Rinse gently with more clean cold water.
• Now you are ready to cook stovetop, oven, crock pot, campfire or whatever.
• Even an old elderly bird will usually be tenderized.
• My grandma also used this on game to make it tender and moist.
• Remember to use a sink cleanser that contains bleach on the sink, because chicken is a funny meat. You need to be careful with utensils after they were touched by any raw meat.
• I mention the clean up, because when I was a new cook I did not know.
