To prepare the marinade and glaze, in a mixing bowl add sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, sriracha, rice vinegar, fish sauce, soy sauce, Thai paste, sesame oil and freshly squeezed lime juice
Mix it well and pour about 1/2 into a small saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. This will make the sauce for later.
Submerge the chicken thighs into the marinade making sure that each piece is nicely coated.
Leave in the bowl and set it in the fridge for 1hour or more to marinate.
Setup the grill for 375 - 400 degrees. You will need both indirect as well as direct heat for this cook.
Place the marinaded chicken thighs on direct heat first to get a nice char on both sides.
Next, move the chicken thighs over to the indirect heat to finish cooking until internal temp reaches 175 degrees.
Remove the chicken from the grill and immediately brush on with the sauce made earlier. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Pickling of the vegetables:
Peel the cucumber and slice in half. Next with the peeler, cut thin strips of cucumber.
Fill a mason jar with the sliced cucumbers and carrots.
In a saucepan, add rice vinegar, water, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and vinegar. Simmer until in starts to boil and pour the mixture into the mason jar.
All the mixture to cool down before serving. Refrigerate leftovers in the same jar.
Notes
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work best for this recipe. If you use skin on chicken, the skin might come out tough and chewy.
