Grilled Chicken Thighs
We’ve been making this recipe for a very long time. It’s courtesy of my friend and just-out-of-college roommate, Sandy. Her recipe called for beef, but the flavors lent themselves to boneless chicken thighs and that’s how we’ve made it though the years. I’ve also added some olive oil and Sherry to her recipe.
The marinade is simple and the technique is, too. You can use a grill pan, gas or charcoal grill. It tastes great any way you fire it up. I like to serve this dish with rice and a green vegetable like broccoli. Here I’ve garnished with chopped cilantro and avocado slices.
Sadly and I lost touch with Sandy a few years back. She was going through a particularly rough time. I hope she knows that I’ll forever treasure her friendship and love her always.
