Thai Basil Chicken Thighs

Grilled Thai Basil Chicken Thighs

12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
1 tbl grated ginger
1 tbl minced garlic
½ tsp Tabasco Habanero Pepper Sauce
1½ tbl soy sauce
1½ tbl fish sauce
1½ tbl canola oil
1½ tbl brown sugar

Put everything but the chicken together in a food processor bowl.  Pulse the processor 6 or 8 times until everything is in a wet paste.  Put the chicken thighs in a gallon zip top bag and pour the basil marinade over them.  Let the chicken thighs marinate from an hour to two days.

Heat the grill up to medium high and take the thighs straight out of the bag.  Grill over medium heat with the basil marinade still on the thighs until the chicken is cooked through.  Don't try to grill these too quickly or the sugar in the marinade will burn.

Serve.
