Sweet & Sour Grilled Chicken Thighs image

Recipe from Weber's Real Grilling. Super easy, fabulous taste. It doesn't taste very sweet or sour, the chicken had a great balanced taste (I did add bit more hot chili sauce to kick it up a bit). The recipe includes using the marinade to make "wilted baby spinach," which I will post below, I didn't have any spinach on hand so I don't know how that part of the recipe tastes like but the chicken was outstanding.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 -2 teaspoon hot chili-garlic sauce, such as sambal oelek (more or less to your taste)
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, six thighs about 4 ounces each
1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
12 ounces baby spinach leaves, about 4 large handfuls

Steps:

  • In a small bowl,whisk the first five ingredients. Place thighs in a large, plastic bag and pour marinade over chicken, press out air of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  • Remove the thighs from bag, reserving the marinade. Pour the marinade into a very large skillet and set it aside. Grill the thighs over Direct High heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice.
  • Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil over high heat and allow to boil for 1 full minute. Add the tomato and spinach leaves and cook until the spinach is just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve the warm spinach mixture under the chicken.

This recipe was a fail for me. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too thick. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be making this again.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I'll probably try it again with less sugar next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it never disappoints. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. It's a great weeknight meal that the whole family loves.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the chicken always comes out perfect. I've also tried it with other meats, like pork and beef, and it's always delicious.

Just tried this recipe and it's a keeper! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

These chicken thighs were amazing! I've never made grilled chicken this good before. The sauce was perfect, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
