Grilled Orange Chicken Thighs

With this spate of great weather, here is a DELISH reason to bust out your grill, and entice your neighbors!!
(serves 6)

1 cup freshly squeezed* orange juice
1/3 cup Sugar in the Raw*
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 t. kosher salt
1 T. Dijon mustard
2 t. grated orange peel
Veg. oil
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1&1/2 lbs.), room temp.
1/2 t. lemon pepper seasoning

In a saucepan, combine the juice, sugars, and salt; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook, uncovered, 10-15 mins. or until the mixture reaches a glaze consistency. Remove from heat; stir in mustard and orange peel. Moisten a paper towel with oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack. Prepare grill for direct medium heat cooking. Sprinkle chicken with lemon pepper. Grill, covered, 6-8 mins. per side or until an instant read thermometer reads 165, brushing with some of the sauce during the last 5 mins. Serve with remaining sauce, and a wedge salad. Dine Al Fresco!!
