Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Achiote oil
  • 2 tbsp Ginger
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 4 tbsp Calamansi juice
  • 2 tbsp Coconut aminos
  • 4 medium Zucchini
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1/4 cup Achiote oil, 2 tbsp grated Ginger, 4 cloves minced Garlic, 4 tbsp Calamansi juice, and 2 tbsp Coconut aminos. Add the 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated, then marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. 2Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 375-450°F (190-230°C).
  3. 3Place the marinated 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs directly on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and reaches an internal temperature of 175°F (80°C) when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
  4. 4While the chicken is grilling, use a spiralizer to transform the 4 medium Zucchini into noodles.
  5. 5Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat, approximately 300-350°F (150-175°C). Add the 2 tbsp Olive oil to the hot skillet, then add the spiralized 4 medium Zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp, meaning they are softened but still retain a slight bite.
  6. 6Serve the grilled 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs immediately, placed directly over the sautéed 4 medium Zucchini noodles.
