Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • Handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, halved

Method
 

  1. Whisk the fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon oil. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade for later.
  2. Pat the chicken dry, coat with the remaining marinade, and let it sit for 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  3. Heat a grill to medium-high, oil the grate, and grill the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through (165°F). Brush the reserved glaze on during the last 2 minutes.
  4. Rest the chicken briefly, then top with cilantro and a generous squeeze of lime. Slice and serve.

Notes

If you want to use the reserved glaze as a final sauce, make sure to simmer it in a small pot for at least 1 minute before brushing it on or spooning it over the finished dish.
