Thai Chicken Thighs Recipe

This easy Thai Chicken Thighs recipe is absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The marinade — made with cilantro, Thai basil, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar — is truly the best ever! It creates a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors that soak into the chicken beautifully.

You can grill the chicken outdoors or cook it on a grill pan on the stovetop, making it super versatile and convenient. Either way, the chicken comes out juicy, flavorful, and perfectly caramelized from the marinade.

This recipe is definitely a keeper! I will be making it again and sharing it with friends and family. It’s perfect for a quick dinner, meal prep, or even for entertaining guests who love bold and fresh flavors.
