THAI COCONUT GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS



Thai Coconut Grilled Chicken Thighs image

This is one of my fam's favorite dishes (my 8 yr old son, P1, loves it!) and it's super easy to make too. Lots of chopping, but I find that more therapeutic then shopping sometimes :) COOKING NOTE: Sometimes I hate to use the grill so this does well in the broiler too. Just use a baking sheet lined with foil topped with a non-coated cooling rack. Also fill bottom of pan with 1/2 cup of water to help cook evenly and keeps the meat juicy. Based a few times to get a nice thick, saucy coating.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS



THAI GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS image

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced chili
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except chicken in a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken and leave to marinate at least one hour, preferably longer. Grill chicken on the BBQ, hotplate or in the griller until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its amazing flavor, so make sure to use one that is packed with flavor. The recipe in the article uses a combination of soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, and ginger, but you can feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Grilled chicken can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked, so it is important to keep an eye on it while it is cooking. The best way to tell if the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After you remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled Thai thighs can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, or salads. You can also add a dipping sauce, such as a sweet chili sauce or a peanut sauce, for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilled Thai thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a backyard barbecue. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your grilled Thai thighs are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
