Chili sauce, garlic and basil add flavor to these moist chicken thighs. We enjoy the tender grilled chicken not just in summertime, but throughout the year. &mdash;Marilyn Waltz, Idyllwild, California

Chili Sauce Chicken

(12 ounces) chili sauce

white wine or chicken broth

olive oil

garlic cloves, minced

basil

salt

pepper

chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)

In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients until blended. Pour 1-1/2 cups marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

Drain chicken, discarding marinade in bag. Place chicken on a greased grill rack, skin side down. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 15 minutes. Turn; grill 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.

I made this recipe using my oven's broiler. Times were a bit different. Broiled on high 10 minutes. Turned, broiled another 10 minutes. I tuned and basted the thighs and let them cook five minutes. Turned and basted one final time and cooked for final three minutes. I also marinated some wings along with the thighs. I cooked the wings in my Foodi pressure cooker using the crisper lid. The wings cooked for about 15 minutes per side. I gave them a dip in the leftover marinade.  It was all delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Absolutely DELICIOUS!   Too snowy and cold outside to grill, so like others, I also baked it.  I read reviews of baking at 350 & 400, so I started at 375 for 15 mins; basted; another 15 mins; basted; and then bumped it up to 400 w/the last basting.  AMAZING!!!   This is a definite KEEPER!  Thank you for sharing!

I did it in the slow cooker and used home made chili sauce and boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut it down for 2 people.

This was great. I followed the directions exactly (using chicken broth). I removed the skin prior to cooking to cut down on fat. I also reserved some of the sauce prior to marinating and heated it in the microwave to serve with the chicken. Hubby and I really enjoyed this recipe! Will make again for sure!

Only minor change I made was to split chili sauce to 6 oz regular chili sauce and 6 oz of sweet chili sauce. That really added some zip to the overall taste.  Don't skimp on the garlic, it's key

Great recipe, I used it on chicken breasts.  Turned out very moist and full of flavor.

I made this tonight, and it was delicious!  My teen daughter mixed up the marinade for me last night so all I had to do was add the chicken this morning, then throw it on the grill half and hour before dinner.  Easy and yummy!

I'm sure this is delicious, but I'm really confused as to why it was shown in a line-up of recipes listed as "5-ingredient chicken recipes"!  There are NOT 5 ingredients, but 8!

I made this tonight for dinner.  I work very hard to find the perfect dinner for my husband.. such a picky eater !  I ask him to rate from a 1.. low to a 10 high... 8 and below I toss out... he rated this recipe a 9 !!  He said it was very tasty.  I was a bit concerned with the amount of garlic, I'm not a garlic lover, he is.. but I tasted it and was very surprised... This is excellent.  I will make again.  My husband said "very good".... that is very rare...  Thank you for this great recipe...  Please keep them coming...  Love Taste of Home !!  and for a extra request... Please tell me what you serve for side dishes... I gave my husband wild rice and mixed veggies... broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix...  Always need help with sides.  Again, thank you for a great recipe.

We love this chicken!!  I have used different variations (thighs, drumsticks, breasts) and tried it both on the grill and in the oven and it tastes great every time.

I've made this recipe a couple of times and recieved great complements on how tasty this recipe had turned out! Thanks for another great and delicious recipe!!

Mmm - I love chili sauce and chicken, and this recipe was great!  I used garlic powder instead of whole garlic and I baked it around 45 minutes.

This is one of our favorite recipes..it has such a great flavor instead of the basic bbq recipe

Yummy! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Was really good.

This was oh so good!  Since I don't own a grill, I baked the chicken at 400 for 35 minutes.  I was skeptical about so much garlic, but it was great, will definitely be making this again.

Good tasting chicken.  I baked it for 30 mins at 350 and it came out great.

These were so good and easy.  Only had hot chili sauce and WOW they had a lot of heat.  Next time I will use mild chili sauce.

Simple and tasty!   Hardest part was chopping the garlic.

Excellent recipe.  Made as directed.  Everyone loved it - said it was the best grilled chicken they've ever had.  In case your tempted - don't cut back on the garlic!

I used breasts instead of thighs as that is what family likes. Family wants me to put this in the crockpot next time.  Great sauce.

Our family absolutely loves this recipe.  I make it just as it says and it is popular every single time even with my picky 6 year old!
