Full Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• ½ cup sweet chili sauce

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Optional: red pepper flakes for added heat

• Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

 Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

5. Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown.

6. Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

7. Slice the chicken and serve garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
