4-6
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2-3 limes
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3⁄4 teaspoon garam masala (substitute curry powder if you can't find it)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like heat)
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 scallions, light and dark green parts only thinly sliced
directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the chicken and scallions. Set ¼ cup of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs. Be sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, then place the bag in the refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3-4 hours.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Grease the grill. (Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub the towels over the grates several times until glossy and coated.) Place the chicken on the grill; cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and done. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, then top with the reserved marinade and sliced scallions.
