Delicious Thai Grilled Chicken Recipe for a Perfect Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (can substitute with honey)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 red chili sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.

    Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for even flavor.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken thighs to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

    Longer marination enhances flavor.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 400°F.

    Make sure the grill grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Rest & Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve garnished with cilantro and red chili.

    Resting helps the juices redistribute, making the chicken juicier.
