Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 cup Sweet Chili Sauce Sticky, sweet sauce that infuses flavor into the chicken.
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce Adds rich depth to the marinade.
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar Brings balance with its tangy note.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar Intensifies sweetness and caramelizes on the grill.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Prevents sticking on the grill.
For the Chicken
  • 4 pounds chicken thighs Juicy and tender, ideal for grilling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pour 1 cup of Sweet Chili Sauce into a glass measuring cup.
  2. Add 6 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of seasoned rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the Sweet Chili Sauce. Stir well.
  3. Trim away any excess fat from the chicken thighs.
Marination
  1. Place chicken thighs in a zip-top bag and pour in all but 1/2 cup of the marinade. Seal and marinate for 15 minutes.
Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill to 325°F and line it with tin foil, spraying with cooking spray.
  2. Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  3. Heat the reserved 1/2 cup of marinade in the microwave and drizzle over chicken after it's cooked.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate chicken for a few hours or overnight. Flip the chicken only once to achieve beautiful grill marks.
