    Spiced Grilled Chicken Thighs with chile-herb sauce

    There’s a silly amount of flavor in this amazing chicken! The marinade is out of this world…top it all off with a fresh chile-herb sauce and you’ll be in grilled chicken heaven. (Is there such a place??)

    I love to grill in the summer – it’s so relaxing. Spending time outside by the grill, sipping on a cold beverage, grilling up some delicious chicken and not stressing about ‘getting dinner on the table by 6:22 pm so we can leave for soccer practice.’ Yes, we have some busy summer evenings, but they are few and far between…and I’m really enjoying a break from the school year activities-race.

    This chicken with the marinade is also freezer friendly. My favorite way to marinate chicken is to freeze it and then let it marinates as the chicken thaws in the fridge. Also, I recommend letting meat that you plan to grill to thaw completely before putting it out on the grill because it will grill and cook through more evenly when thawed completely.

    While the chicken is on the grill, you can whisk up the sauce and your amazing meal will come together perfectly. Enjoy!!
