  • 2 tsp. paprika

  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

  • Freshly ground black pepper 

  • 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Glaze

  • 6 cups Coca-Cola

  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 Tbsp. ketchup

  • 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar

  • Zest and juice from 1 lime, plus wedges for serving

  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Directions

  • Dry Rub

    1. Step 1In a large bowl, mix salt, paprika, cayenne, and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub chicken in spice mix until coated.
    2. Step 2Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

  • Glaze

    1. Step 1In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring soda to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally and watching closely, until thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 18-25 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, brown sugar, lime zest and juice, and salt.
    2. Step 2Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; preheat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Brush grates or pan with oil. Using tongs, arrange chicken on grill. Brush exposed side of chicken with glaze.
    3. Step 3Grill chicken for 4 minutes. Flip, brush with glaze, and continue to grill for 4 minutes. Flip and brush one more time. Continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°, about 4 minutes more.
