Ginger-Citrus Chicken Thighs off the Grill image

The marinade for these chicken thighs is fabulous! The fresh orange and ginger root are what really make it special. You taste the sweetness from the orange, balanced with some spice from the ginger and salty from the soy sauce. We marinated them overnight, and they were so juicy when they came off the grill.
