Description

These delicious Thai grilled chicken thighs are marinated in lemongrass paste, soy sauce, fish sauce, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and ginger.

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon lemongrass paste (such as Gourmet Garden®)
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Directions

1 Whisk soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, sesame oil, ginger, Sriracha, garlic, lime juice, and lemongrass paste together in a bowl.
2 Put chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over chicken and marinate for 2 hours or overnight for an even better flavor.
3 Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grate.
4 Remove chicken thighs from marinade, discarding marinade.
5 Grill chicken thighs until they are no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6 Remove from grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
