I can’t get enough of grilled chicken this summer. My gas grill and charcoal grill are working full time. I have an abundance of basil and cilantro growing in my vegetable garden and wanted to try a juicy marinated grilled chicken.
Marinade this chicken all day or overnight to get the most flavorful, melt in your mouth chicken! This marinade is absolutely delicious. I could eat it on everything!
What you will need for this recipe: Chicken Thighs, Olive Oil, Cilantro, Garlic
Blend all ingredients ( except chicken) in a Cuisinart or blender until smooth.
Cover chicken thighs with the marinade in a Ziploc and place it in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight.
Grill chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side. Brush with sweet chili sauce.
Serve on a platter! Enjoy!
