Instructions
- 1Make the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the sugar with ¼ cup water until the sugar has fully dissolved. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar water, fish sauce, olive oil, lime juice, grated garlic, chili sauce, and salt. Reserve ¼ cup in a medium bowl.
- 2Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- 3Preheat the grill on medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the chicken on the grill and cook, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes per side, or until lightly charred. Brush with the remaining marinade and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter.
- 4Meanwhile, make the green bean salad. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the green beans and cook undisturbed until beginning to blister, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir and cook until charred and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the reserved marinade. Add the tomatoes, peanuts, cilantro, and mint and toss to combine.
- 5Top the chicken with the green bean salad and serve.
