THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YANG)



Thai Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) image

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!

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb / 1 kg chicken thigh fillets ((skinless, boneless) (Note 1))
1 large lemongrass stalk (, white part only very finely chopped (about 2 tbsp) (Note 2))
6 cloves garlic (, minced)
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tsp finely chopped red chili ((optional but recommended))
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (, sherry or sake (Japanese cooking wine) (Note 4))
1 tsp sesame oil ((optional))
3 tbsp brown sugar or palm sugar
2 tbsp honey ((or 1 tbsp brown sugar))
1/2 tbsp black pepper ((adjust to taste - this adds spiciness))
Lime wedges
Red chili (, finely sliced (optional))
Cilantro / coriander leaves ((optional))

Steps:

  • Place Marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Massage to mix.
  • Add the chicken into the ziplock bag and massage to spread the marinade over all the chicken. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours).
  • Remove chicken from the Marinade and discard the Marinade (unless baking in the oven - refer Note 3).
  • Heat the outdoor grill on medium high. Or heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat on the stove.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown - around 3 minutes each side.
  • Rest for a few minutes before serving with lime wedges on the side, and garnished with fresh chilies and cilantro, if using.

Think of this dish as Chicken Teriyaki with a South Asian flair, or India meets the other flavors of Asia.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2-3 limes
1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon Asian sesame oil
¾ teaspoon Garam Masala (substitute curry powder if you can't find it)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ teaspoons fresh grated ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like heat)
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 scallions light and dark green parts only, thinly sliced

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.
