Here's the Dish: Thai Grilled Chicken

Here’s a bonus recipe for you this week, since there’s a good chance you’ll be grilling out during the upcoming holiday weekend. At least, I know I will be! I recently made this Thai Grilled Chicken ~ I really do think it is the best grilled chicken I have ever had, at least in recent memory. The meat was so tender and flavorful. We used chicken quarters, but if you have an aversion to bones, then I think chicken breasts would be mighty tasty prepared this way. Cut them into cubes and put them on skewers for a change of pace! Serve this chicken with my Thai Pasta Salad, and you’ll be loving life :)
