Marinade Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet vinegar, grated ginger, ground turmeric, minced garlic, chopped green chili, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
