Grilled Thai High Thighs
by swibirun
I had some chicken thighs, a bottle of Mr. Yoshida's Original Sweet and Savory sauce. It had a suggestion of mixing the sauce and peanut butter for a quick "Thai peanut sauce". While not real Thai, it inspired me to have some fun and Thai one on.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ea chicken thighs ; bone in, skin on
- 1/2 cup Mr. Yoshida's Original Sweet & Savory ; (sub a thin teriyaki)
- 3 Tablespoons peanut butter ; chunky
- 1 ea dried red chili pepper ; seeded and crumbled
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the teriyaki sauce, peanut putter and red pepper together. Marinade the thighs in the sauce for 2 hours. If you like it hotter, add in the seeds from the chili pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess marinade. Place on a 375-400f grill over direct heat for 5 minutes. Flip and cook over direct heat for another 5 minutes.
[On the Big Green Egg, this was done using a grid extender so the meat is about 8-10 inches from the heat source.]
Move to indirect heat (adding the plate setter on an Egg. For a gas grill, you have one side or burner on and put the meat over an unheated area and close the lid) and cook at the same temp until the thighs hit 180f internal temp. This takes about 10-15 minutes at the 400f cooking temp, but go by the internal temperature.
I cheated and whisked up some more Yoshida sauce and peanut butter to use as a glaze as the thighs came off the grill. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion or some cilantro.
