Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons Thai seasoning, see notes below
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
Rub the chicken thighs with the olive oil then sprinkle the Thai seasoning evenly over the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, and fresh cilantro together. Set it aside.
Add the seasoned chicken to the grill and grill for 5-6 minutes per side.
During the last 2 minutes on the grill, brush half of the prepared glaze on the chicken thighs.
Remove the chicken from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 160°F. The temperature will rise about 5 degrees as it rests. Brush the remaining glaze over the chicken thighs, then let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Slice or dice the chicken before serving.

Notes

Thai seasoning: you can mix up my homemade seasoning in about 5 minutes. If you don't have all of the ingredients, simply combine 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon onion powder, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and (optional for spice) 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes, to season the chicken before cooking.
To add more spice to the chicken, add an extra tablespoon of sriracha to the glaze.
Store any grilled Thai chicken leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
To make the recipe gluten free, use gluten-free soy sauce, or tamari.
