This vibrant citrus-marinated chicken thighs recipe offers a bright and savoury flavour profile that perfectly balances zesty lime and orange with the richness of reduced-sodium soy sauce. Using skin-on, bone-in thighs ensures the meat remains succulent and tender under the grill, while the fresh coriander and garlic marinade provides a deep, aromatic base. It is a refreshing alternative to traditional roasts, bringing a burst of sunshine to your dinner table regardless of the season.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and fresh aromatics rather than added sugars. The combination of citrus acidity and savoury soy creates a sophisticated glaze without the need for heavy sauces. Serve these chicken thighs with a crisp green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables for a light, nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Citrus-Marinated Chicken Thighs

1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch coriander, leaves and tender stems only
2 dientes de ajo, picados
1 cucharadita de ralladura de lima finamente rallada
1 cucharadita de ralladura de naranja finamente rallada
60ml de jugo de lima fresco
60ml de jugo de naranja fresco
60ml de salsa de soja baja en sodio

How to make Citrus-Marinated Chicken Thighs

Set aside 1/4 cup sliced spring onions. Pulse coriander, garlic, citrus zests, citrus juices, soy sauce, oil, salt, and remaining spring onions in a food processor or blender until a coarse purée forms. Set aside 60ml marinade; place remaining marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and turn to coat. Chill at least 20 minutes.

Preheat grill. Remove chicken from marinade and place, skin side down, on a foil-lined broilerproof baking sheet; discard marinade. Grill chicken until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn; continue to grill until cooked through and an instantread thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 74°C, 12-15 minutes longer. Serve chicken with reserved marinade and spring onions.

DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
