Skinless boneless chicken thighs,

a bottle of Sweet Chili Sauce and a bottle of Hoisin Sauce

Put the chicken into a large zip lock plastic bag or deep bowl

Pour 1/4 cup of each sauce into a measuring cup

and reserve for basting

Pour the remaining sauces over chicken and let

the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours

OR put the chicken in your slow cooker and pour both bottles of sauce over it

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours

Grill chicken over medium coals until done,

basting with reserved sauce during the last few minutes

{time will vary due to your grill, so use a meat thermometer to test for doneness}

If you’re cooking the chicken in a slow cooker

and you want a little crispy char

you can put it on a baking sheet

and stick it under the broiler for several minutes

or simply serve as is
