Grill vs. Oven: If you don’t have access to a grill, you can also bake the marinated chicken thighs in the oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Pineapple Juice: For an added tropical twist, you can include 1/2 cup of pineapple juice in the marinade to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
Spicy Kick: Add a touch of heat to the marinade by incorporating 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha sauce or crushed red pepper flakes.
Keto and Low-Carb Versions:
Keto Version:
Sugar Substitute: Replace the sugar in the marinade with a keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to reduce the carbohydrate content of the dish.
Low-Carb Teriyaki Sauce: Use a low-carb teriyaki sauce or make your own by combining soy sauce, water, garlic, ginger, and a sugar substitute.
Low-Carb Version:
Chicken Thighs: Opt for skinless chicken thighs to reduce the fat content of the dish, making it more suitable for a low-carb diet.
Reduced Sugar: Decrease the amount of sugar in the marinade or use a sugar-free sweetener to minimize the carbohydrate content while still achieving a delicious flavor.
