THAI COCONUT GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS
This is one of my fam's favorite dishes (my 8 yr old son, P1, loves it!) and it's super easy to make too. Lots of chopping, but I find that more therapeutic then shopping sometimes :) COOKING NOTE: Sometimes I hate to use the grill so this does well in the broiler too. Just use a baking sheet lined with foil topped with a non-coated cooling rack. Also fill bottom of pan with 1/2 cup of water to help cook evenly and keeps the meat juicy. Based a few times to get a nice thick, saucy coating.

The sweet and spicy are a great combination. There is also an oven method of cooking but I have only tried grilling them. Did not include marinating time in prep time.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken and leave to marinate at least one hour, preferably longer. Grill chicken on the BBQ, hotplate or in the griller until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips:
- Use a charcoal grill for the best flavor. If you don't have a charcoal grill, you can also use a gas grill or an indoor grill pan.
- Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Grill the chicken thighs over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
- Cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
