How To Make thai grilled chicken thighs & tomato salad

  • Step 1
    Chop basil and cilantro coarsely; peel and grate ginger. Combine 3 tablespoons basil, 3 tablespoons cilantro, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, sriracha sauce, and fish sauce until blended. Reserve one-half marinade.
  • Step 2
    Place remaining half marinade in a large ziploc bag; add chicken, seal bag tightly, and knead to coat. Let stand 30 minutes (or overnight) to marinate in the fridge.
  • Step 3
    Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Chop tomatoes and toss with reserved marinade to coat.
  • Step 4
    Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade. Coat chicken with cooking spray; grill 8–10 minutes on each side, turning often, until grill-marked and 165°F. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon each basil and cilantro before serving with the tomato salad.
