Submitted by Karrie Ann

"This is an amazing grilled chicken recipe that is so easy and so really really good. It came out of Sunset magazine originally several years ago."

• Ingredients: 8

ingredients

• 6 -8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 3⁄4 cup coconut milk (make sure and stir before measuring)

• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 2 teaspoons hot chili flakes
• 3⁄4 cup rice vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup sugar

1. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and 1 t of chilli flakes. Bring to a boil, and boil until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 10 minutes). Use warm. Can be made up to 1 week ahead.
2. Rinse and pat the chicken dry. Combine coconut milk, ginger, pepper and the rest of the chili flakes. Add chicken and marinate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.

Nice recipe. You can't really taste the coconut but overall the dish has a nice flavor.
