Grilled Thai Chicken Thighs w/Spicy Broccoli Slaw

by Irene Lindvall


This is the best new dish I've made in weeks. I love a good Asian marinade and this one did not disappoint. The chicken thighs cooked really well on the grill and the extra basting with marinade really made them tasty. I used packaged broccoli slaw from Trader Joe's to cut down on time, but I could definitely see red and green cabbage with carrots being a good alternative. The dressing for the slaw turned out extremely spicy. I used a Microplane to grate the jalapeño and I can't tell if it was that which made it turn out so hot (I used only 1/2 a jalapeño instead a full one) or if it was all the fresh ginger. Regardless, it wasn't the end of the world, and everything worked so well together. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

Jalapeño seeds do not grate on a Microplane (see photo 6). This is incredibly fascinating to me.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely
