Amazing Thai Sweet Chili Grilled Chicken: The Ultimate Recipe for 5-Star Flavor


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 6 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional garnishes: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, lime wedges


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create the Amazing Thai Sweet Chili Grilled Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetable oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F). Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard any leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the hot grill.
5. Cook: Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should have nice grill marks and be cooked through.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once done, transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken juicy.
7. Optional Glaze: Brush a little extra sweet chili sauce on the chicken right after grilling for added flavor and a shiny finish.
8. Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the chicken into strips for serving.
