Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 wedges Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Thai red curry paste.
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken develops a nice charred appearance.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish the chicken with chopped cilantro and optional red chili flakes for added heat.
Serve with lime wedges on the side and enjoy your flavorful Thai grilled chicken!
