πŸ”₯ Crispy skin and bold sweet chili glaze make these chicken thighs irresistibly flavorful.
πŸ‹ Quick to prepare with a zesty lime-ginger twist, perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal.

  • Total Time: 30 to 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 to 2 1/4 pounds total)

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt

– 2 medium limes (divided)

– 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger

– 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce

Instructions

1-Start: preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 375Β°F, and gather your ingredients for a seamless process. This method ensures juicy, flavorful results with a crispy exterior, perfect for home cooks looking for reliable steps.

2-First, pat the 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry and season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Place them skin-side down on the grill for about 6-8 minutes to get that golden crust. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by grating the zest from one lime and juicing it into a bowl, then add 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce, whisking it all together.

3-Next, flip the chicken and brush on the glaze, grilling for another 6-10 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165Β°F. If you prefer an oven finish, sear in a skillet first as directed, then roast at 400Β°F for 10-12 minutes, basting halfway. This hybrid approach combines grilling’s char with oven reliability, making it adaptable for different setups.

Notes

🍳 Starting chicken in a cold skillet helps render fat and crisp skin perfectly.
🌢️ Adjust ginger up to 1 teaspoon for more spicy kick in the glaze.
🍚 Serve with rice or veggies to soak up any extra sauce, great for meal leftovers too.
