I haven’t deserted you all. I promise. It has just been a crazy two weeks in the Jones household and something had to take a back seat, so I’m afraid it was you. I hope you will forgive me.
Between the continuing battle with lice and the beginning of cake season (aka graduations and weddings), I have had zero time to myself.
And just to prove how completely insane I am, I decided to build myself a picnic table from some plans I found on the internet. Great idea, lousy timing.
I was tired of trying to cram my large family of 8 around our tiny little patio set for 4. I am so happy with the end result and it was actually a lot of fun to build. I just should have waited a few weeks when I wasn’t covered in buttercream frosting to do it.
Now that my first official piece of woodworking is done, I am ready to grill to my heart’s content and gather my family around to enjoy the results. This recipe is one of my favorite flavor profiles, thai. I came up with it myself and it was really good. I might throw in a bit of coconut milk to the marinade next time and see if I like it even better. I’ll let you know!
Combine all the ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Allow to marinade for 4-8 hours.
Preheat grill to high. Remove excess marinade and place chicken on the grill. Lower the heat to medium-low. Grill for 5 minutes on the first side, then turn and grill 3-5 minutes on the second side, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Sounds yummy! My hubby is Thai, his mom is from Thailand…he would love this. I will have to try it – if I ever cook again. He’s been doing all the cooking for the past few weeks 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

So if you use Truvia, would it be less than 2 Tbsp? Thanks!

It depends on how sweet you would like it to be. I used about 1 1/2 Tb since Truvia is sweeter than sugar.
