Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pinch red pepper flakes
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Canola oil, for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, optional
Butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Steps:

  • Put the orange juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 15 minutes. Keep about 1/2 cup warm for serving and set aside the rest for glazing.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the chicken with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill smooth-side down, covered, until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush generously with the glaze. Cook, covered, until charred and the thighs are just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Flip again, glaze, and cook uncovered about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, sprinkle with the chives if using, and rest the chicken for a few minutes.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips. Serve with butter lettuce leaves for wraps and the reserved glaze on the side.

Added some chopped scallions and extra ginger to the glaze for a more complex flavor.

For a healthier version, I used Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the glaze.

I didn't have butter lettuce on hand so I used romaine instead. Still delicious.
