- Pour the dressing over the bok choy mixture and toss until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Skewer and Grill the Chicken Thighs
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, thread the marinated chicken thighs onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
- Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has charred grill marks.
