Main ingredients

  • 8 to 10 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • First, grab a big bowl and toss in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ½ cup of sweet Thai chili sauce. Mix it up real good so everything9s ready.
  • Add your chicken thighs to that bowl and toss 'em all around. Make sure each piece gets coated so flavor's spread nice and even.
  • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours chilling in the fridge. This step9s key if you want tender pull and deep flavor.
  • Now, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This gets it ready for that perfect sear.
  • Take your chicken right outta the marinade (let extra drip off) and place 'em on the grill. Cook about 5-7 minutes on each side. Watch out for that internal temp to reach 165°F (75°C). Safety first, always!
  • While grilling, brush those thighs with remaining 1 cup of sweet Thai chili sauce. Do this in the last few minutes so nothing burns but that glaze sticks real good.
    Once grilled, remove chicken and let rest for 5 minutes. It keeps juices locked in and makes every bite lovely. Serve up with extra sweet chili and maybe some fresh herbs for color. You9re ready to dig in, looking all proud of this sauce-soaked goodness.

Notes

Serve with extra sweet chili sauce and fresh herbs. Make sure to check the internal temperature to ensure safety. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen as described for best flavor retention.
