Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Set aside half a cup of the marinade for later basting. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, making sure they're coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  3. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil and preheat to medium heat (around 350°F).
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 4 minutes until caramelized. Flip and baste with reserved marinade. Cook for another 4 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.
