Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, or 8 thighs each cut into 3 pieces

- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions
- Cut the chicken thighs into 1/2-wide long strips and place into a large resealable bag. In a bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic. Pour the marinade into the bag over the sliced chicken. Seal the bag and toss to coat completely.

Reviews
I made this for a party for the “girls”. It was one of the first things to go. It was exactly like the title “sweet chili”. It was a little spicy yet sweet and there was juicy meat that melt in your mouth. I didn’t use the skewers – I grilled them on the George Forman grill and served them in little ramekins with toasted sesame seeds. This is a keeper.
The technique worked very well, but the flavors just did not cut it for me. Had to finish mine off with some Sweet Baby Rays to salvage it. I’ll be on the lookout for a different marinade.
