Servings
  • 8 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, add egg. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until frothy.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and whisk again until all is incorporated.
  4. Add marinade to chicken and let marinate for ideally 12 - 24 hrs.
  5. Heat grill to low and grill on low, indirect heat for 15 minutes on one side, basting every 5 minutes with remaining marinade and then flip and cook on other side for another 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes. If chicken is not parboiled, it will take about 30 minutes on each side.
