Citrus Soy Grilled Chicken or Pork

INGREDIENTS

• 8 chicken thighs/drumsticks or 4 pork chops, trimmed of fat
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional*)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or molasses
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder or jarred garlic
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce, preferably low salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  *To zest an orange, carefully use a potato peeler to remove a thin piece of the orange peel. Then cut that piece very finely. Orange zest adds a huge flavour boost to this recipe.

PREPARATION

1. Stir all the ingredients together except the meat in a large bowl. Add more garlic to your taste.
2. Add the chicken or pork and stir until all the pieces are coated. If you have time, let marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
3. Preheat the BBQ grill on high.
4. Place the meat on the BBQ and turn down to low. If there is a lot of smoke, move the meat to the top rack or set on a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
