Description

Deliciously sticky and caramelized grilled chicken thighs coated in a sweet chili marinade, perfect for warm nights.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs


Instructions

  1. Mix the marinade: In a glass measuring cup or bowl, add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and olive oil. Stir until smooth.
  2. Prep the chicken: Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and place in a zip-top bag or shallow dish.
  3. Reserve sauce: Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade into a separate container and set aside, then pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
  4. Marinate briefly: Seal and turn the bag to coat the chicken. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat the grill: Heat to about 325°F and lay down foil sprayed with cooking spray.
  6. Grill the chicken: Place on the foil and grill for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  7. Warm the reserved sauce and serve: Microwave the reserved marinade until hot, then pour it over the chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

Pairs well with rice, salads, grilled veggies, or wraps. For added flavor, consider longer marination times.
