Sweet Chili Sauce is typically made from a combination of chili peppers that have been minced, chopped or pureed, then mixed with ingredients like vinegar, salt, sugar, and garlic. There are many recipes on the web to make your own chili sauce, however for this recipe we use store bought to save time. The chili sauce when combined with honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce and a few other items becomes fragrant after being heated and thickens after cooling down. We use this sauce to glaze our grilled chicken thighs before serving with rice and a fresh cucumber salad.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs

Chicken thighs have a higher fat content ensuring they retain moisture when cooked making them a great choice for skewers, curries or chili dishes, in sandwiches, soups or even pot pies.

Typically known as a less expensive cut of poultry, thighs are flavourful whether you use bone-in or boneless, and they cook quickly making them an easy anytime meal.

Grilled with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then dipped into a honey chili sauce gives these chicken thighs a sweet and slightly spicy flavour becoming a winning chicken dinner. This summer we’ve been cooking with the AMA Backyard BBQ group supporting local farmers, ranchers, and businesses.

We’ve collaborated with Bon Ton Meat Market in Crowfoot Village who has expertly prepared the chicken for us so we could make our meals. In addition to grilling our Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs, we’ve made Grilled Spatchcock Chicken, and Shish Tawook Chicken Kabobs.
