1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp hot sauce
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
1 tsp chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

2 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tsp orange zest
1/4 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, olive oil, hot sauce, dijon mustard and garlic.
Place chicken thighs in a gallon size resealable bag, pour marinade over chicken then seal bag while pressing out excess air.
Rub marinade over chicken, transfer to refrigerator and let marinate 1 - 6 hours.
Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 400 degrees.
While grill is preheating prepare glaze - in a small saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in honey, orange juice, orange zest, BBQ sauce and dijon mustard and remove from heat. Set aside about 1/3 cup for serving.
Grill chicken about 4 minutes per side then brush with glaze and grill until cooked through (165 degrees in center) and slightly charred about 2 minutes per side more.
Serve warm with reserved glaze, garnished with parsley if desired.
