Thai Chili Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice

[lunchman]

Chicken Thighs on the menu tonight. I didn't want to make the same old Shawarma, Kettle Fried chicken, or chicken using one of my standard rubs. I wanted something different, something Asian inspired. I pulled out a number of ingredients that I thought would go well together and came up with a Thai Chili Sauce Marinade. As I was putting this together I checked online for guidance and found the almost identical marinade on tablespoon.com. Go figure.

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Garlic
Five Spice powder
Brown Sugar
Ground Ginger
Sesame Oil

The marinade (sorry, took the pic after brushing most of it on the chicken) -

Of course, some Fried Rice to go with it on the Blackstone. Shrimp Fried Rice today -

Thighs, indirect on the grill -

Adding eggs to be scrambled -

Chicken is looking good -

Dinner is served -

My plate -

The taste was quite good. I do wish I had grilled this two-zone rather than fully indirect so I could have crisped the skin at some point, but it was still excellent. All in all, a flavorful marinade was the result of playing food chemist this morning. Amazingly, I wrote it down as I was mixing it so I can make it again.

Thanks for checking out tonight's dinner!

Crushed it, yet again, Dom! You work that flat top like a magician.

That looks wonderful, and the leftovers would bring ALL the boys to my cubicle at work.

Have a great weekend, brother.

Looks great, Thai bbq is awesome. Have you ever tried a Vietnamese chicken dish, this one is amazing, I cooked this last night (reverse sear method, no smoke though: https://www.vickypham.com/blog/vietnamese-roasted-chicken I recommend you make the following sauce to pour over the top when serving https://danangcuisine.com/recipes/recipe-2-vietnamese-dipping-sauce-cach-pha-nuoc-cham/

Thanks, I'll have to give those recipes a try. It's fun to look for new tastes rather than the same old, same old.
