Ingredients
- 8 to 10 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1½ cups sweet Thai chili sauce divided into 1 (brushing) and ½ cup (marinating)
Instructions
- Add the chicken thighs to a mixing bowl and toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once coated, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ½ cup of sweet chili sauce. Toss well to combine and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Heat the grill to 400F.
- Place the chicken thighs onto the grill, smooth side down.
- Grill the chicken thighs on direct heat for 3 minutes, depending on their size. Keep the grill lid closed.
- Open the lid and flip the chicken thighs. Brush the chicken thighs generously with the sweet Thai chili sauce and close the lid, letting them cook for 3 minutes.
- Open the lid and flip the chicken thighs again. Brush and cook for another minute with the lid closed.
- Flip the chicken one last time to let the just-brushed side sear for a minute. Remove the chicken from the grill and rest for at least five minutes before serving. If possible, cover with foil.
