For the marinade

For cooking

2 tablespoons butter Use unsalted butter for better control over the dish's saltiness.
2 teaspoons garlic (minced) Fresh garlic makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Sub avocado oil if desired for a higher smoke point.
to taste Kosher salt & ground black pepper Season generously, but taste before adding too much.

Preparation

Marinate Chicken: Place chicken in a glass bowl and add 1/4 cup soy sauce. Toss to coat.
Garlic Butter: Combine 2 tablespoons butter and 2 teaspoons garlic in a small bowl; set aside.

Cooking

Bring your flat-top to medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and spread it over the cooktop.
Place marinated chicken thighs on the hot grill. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Close the lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
Open the lid, drizzle a little soy sauce on top, and add approximately 1 tablespoon of garlic butter. Close the lid and let it cook for another minute or two.
Flip the chicken, season the other side, and add 1 tablespoon of garlic butter and more soy sauce. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 162°F.

Resting

Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest. It will continue to cook to reach 165°F while resting.
Slice or cut into bite-sized pieces and serve.

Serve alongside fresh veggies, fluffy rice, or in warm tortillas for chicken tacos. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
