Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 400g, skin-on, bone-in
• Fresh red chili peppers - 2 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Coconut sugar - 1 teaspoon (optional for sweetness)
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the chopped chili peppers, minced garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, coconut sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for better flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt to taste.
5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
6. Flip the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
8. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
