Ingredients
2
pounds
boneless skinless chicken thighs
or if you prefer, with skin and bones (lean cuts of meat will not work overly well with this dish)
Marinade:
4
tablespoons
avocado oil
2
tablespoons
fresh lime juice
2
tablespoons
fish sauce
1 1/2
teaspoons
black pepper
1/2
teaspoon
sea salt
1/4
teaspoon
honey
may omit
Dipping Sauce (adjust amounts to personal preferences, this is enough for 1-2 people):
1
teaspoon
coarse sea salt
(not fine ground, it will be too salty)
2
teaspoons
black pepper
4
tablespoons
lime juice
1
serrano chile
sliced (w/ the seeds will be more spicy, without less so)
Instructions
Mix all marinade ingredients together.
Add in chicken and marinate for at least 3 hours, I usually put it together the day before for loads of flavor, *or see meal prep tip above*
Preheat grill to hot.
Add chicken to quickly sear for a few of minutes, then flip to do the same to the other side.
Once grill lines appear on second side, turn down temp to med-low, close your lid, and let cook gently until done (Meat will register 165 degrees).
Remove from grill, tent with some foil, and let the meat rest a couple of minutes.
Slice and serve with sticky rice and dipping sauce!
