Ingredients
  • Chicken thighs - 4, skinless & bone-in
  • Chilli garlic sauce - ΒΌ cup
  • Olive oil - 2 tbsp
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash and pat dry the chicken thighs. Ensure the chicken thighs are dry; then they will crisp up evenly.
  2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken thighs and season each one nicely.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned chicken thighs and massage each one evenly so that each chicken thigh is coated with oil, salt & pepper thoroughly.
  4. Now add the chilli garlic sauce to the chicken thighs. Mix the sauce with the chicken thighs preferably using your hands making sure the sauce penetrates the nooks & crannies of each thigh.
  5. Once all the chicken thighs are beautifully coated, leave them at room temperature for 30 minutes so that chicken can absorb the flavors as much as possible.
  6. When you are ready to grill, heat a cast iron grill pan until smoking hot. Brush some oil on the grill grates. Then carefully place the chicken thighs one by one on the grill pan and leave them as is keeping the flame on medium.
  7. Let the chicken thighs grill for at least 10 to 15 minutes on medium flame. This will develop those beautiful grill marks on the chicken thighs.
  8. After about 15 minutes, flip the chicken thighs over and grill the other side for another 15 minutes.
  9. While the chicken thighs are grilling, preheat your oven to 180 C/ 375 F and place the wire rack at the middle of the oven.
  10. Once the beautiful grill marks are formed on both sides of the chicken thighs, switch off the flame and transfer the grill pan (only if you are using a cast iron grill pan) inside the preheated oven. (See my tip above if you are not using a cast iron grill pan.)
  11. Bake the chicken thighs for about 20 to 22 minutes until the meat is completely cooked through. You can check the doneness of the chicken by cutting the meat with the edge of a knife; if there is no pink left and meat is completely opaque, your chicken is done.
  12. Take out the chilli garlic grilled chicken thighs and serve it immediately with a generous serving of salad on the side! Enjoy!
