Ingredients

  1. 2 tsp. kosher salt
  2. 2 tsp. paprika
  3. 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  4. Freshly ground black pepper
  5. 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  6. 6 c. Coca-Cola
  7. 1/3 c. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  8. 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  9. 1 tbsp. ketchup
  10. 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
  11. 1 lime, juiced and zested, plus wedges for serving
  12. 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  13. Neutral oil, for grill

Instructions

  1. Dry Rub

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

  3. Glaze

    In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring soda to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally and watching closely, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, brown sugar, lime zest and juice, and salt to create a thin glaze.
  4. Prepare 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.
  5. Grill 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.
  6. Transfer to a platter and let cool 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
  7. Make Ahead: Glaze can be made 5 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
