THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YANG)
The marinade for this chicken is true to the authentic Thai grilled chicken (Gai Yang). Traditional Gai Yang is served with a dipping sauce but I find chicken thighs so juicy that it doesn't need it. Instead, I incorporate the flavour into the Marinade. Traditionally this is cooked over charcoal which gives it a wonderful smokey flavour. But it really is fantastic even cooked on the stove or in the oven, though my preference is to cook it on the outdoor grill. The key ingredients are the lemongrass and fish sauce - don't omit or substitute these!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the chicken and scallions. Set ¼ cup of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs. Be sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, then place the bag in the refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3-4 hours.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Grease the grill. (Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub the towels over the grates several times until glossy and coated.) Place the chicken on the grill; cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and done. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, then top with the reserved marinade and sliced scallions.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the chicken, make sure to leave some space between each piece so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the grill will prevent the chicken from cooking properly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure that it has reached 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
This Asian Chicken Grill recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, while the grilling process creates a slightly charred and smoky exterior. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables, for a complete meal.
