Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Vegetable oil for grilling
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, lime juice, grated ginger, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the grilled chicken garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.

Notes

Serve with rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
