Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs {with Mango Salsa}

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs.

To quote my in-house taste-tester, “This is a flavor WIN.”

I’ll take that as a thumbs up.  Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated in a jalapeno orange marinade, then grilled to perfection.  So delicious and as a bonus, figure friendly.

Chicken thighs really love to be marinated and hold on to flavors during cooking, which insures they will be moist and juicy when they come off the grill.  We served them over whole wheat couscous with Mango Salsa.

If you thought last week’s Peach Basil Relish was the ticket, this Mango Salsa recipe is calling your name.  Fabulous and perfect with the Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs.

I’d love for you to comment on this or any Lemony Thyme post.  All my best, Libby
