Grilled Cherry Chili Chicken Thighs

Made with Cobb Hill Farm Cherry Chili Hot Sauce

Juicy boneless chicken thighs marinated in Cobb Hill Farm Cherry Chili Hot Sauce, then grilled until smoky, caramelized, and full of bold sweet heat. This easy recipe is perfect for backyard cookouts, weeknight dinners, and anyone who likes a little kick with big flavor.

Ingredients

1.5–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3–4 tbsp Cobb Hill Farm Cherry Chili Hot Sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Make the marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Cherry Chili Hot Sauce, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

2. Marinate the chicken

Add the chicken thighs and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best flavor, marinate for 4–8 hours. Overnight works well too.

3. Preheat the grill

Heat your grill to medium-high, about 400–450°F. Lightly oil the grates to help prevent sticking.

4. Grill the chicken

Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, turning as needed for even char and caramelization. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5. Finish with extra sauce

During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with a little extra Cobb Hill Farm Cherry Chili Hot Sauce. For a glossy finish, mix the sauce with a touch of honey before brushing it on.
