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.

Classic Thai BBQ Grilled Chicken Recipe (with Tangy Dipping Sauce) image

Try this classic Thai BBQ chicken recipe, marinated in a garlicky sweet and sour sauce, then easily barbecued (or oven-baked) to perfection.

Provided by Darlene Schmidt

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 fresh chicken (chopped into small parts) or 4 pieces chicken
Marinade:
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. dark soy sauce ( or 1 more tbsp. regular soy sauce)
2 tbsp. fish sauce
3 tbsp. sherry (cooking sherry works well too)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. black peppercorns (crushed with pestle & mortar) or 1 tsp. coarsely-ground black pepper
10 cloves garlic (minced)
1 red chili (minced, to taste)
Dipping Sauce or Glaze:
2/3 cup rice vinegar (or another type of vinegar: white, white wine, or apple cider)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh red chili (minced) or 1/3 to 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili or cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. fish sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add chicken, turning several times to ensure the chicken is covered and literally bathed in the marinade. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight is even better.
  • To make the dipping sauce/glaze, place all the dipping sauce/glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil (the smell will be quite pungent as the vinegar burns off). Reduce heat slightly to keep it on a gentle boil. When sauce has reduced to 1/3 and is bubbling all over the surface, remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools and should taste tangy - a mixture of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Note that it's best to make the sauce right before eating, or it will thicken too much. If this happens, reheat and add a little water.
  • Brush your grill with a little vegetable oil, then grill the chicken, turning occasionally. Brush the chicken with the leftover marinade for the first 10 minutes or so, then discard marinade. (If the weather doesn't cooperate, see tip below recipe.)
  • Serve with the dipping sauce on the side, or spoon a little sauce over each piece of chicken as a glaze before serving. This dish goes well with a salad or served with rice. ENJOY! If the Weather Doesn't Cooperate: Cook the chicken in your oven!
  • Place chicken pieces on a grill pan or on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, or until chicken is nearly done (thicker pieces may need slightly longer).
  • Then Turn oven to the "broil" setting (on "high" if you have a choice), and move chicken to one of the upper racks of your oven.
  • Baste both sides of chicken with the leftover marinade, or with a little of the dipping sauce, then broil 3-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (stay near the oven for this process, or chicken may burn).

THAI BARBECUE MARINADE



Thai Barbecue Marinade image

Good on chicken or pork. Not recommend for fish or seafood, as the long marinating time will "cook" the fish and make it tough. Because of the sugar and honey in this, it will burn easily if not watched on the grill (thanks for that info, diner :) ). If you can't find rice wine, use sherry, but not rice vinegar.
