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.

BARBECUED THAI CHICKEN



Barbecued Thai chicken image

Try this Thai chicken next time you have a barbecue. The marinade is heady with exotic flavours and lemongrass stalks hold the spatchcocked chicken together

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

medium chicken (about 1.5kg), spatchcocked
2 stalks lemongrass , kept whole
1 tsp black peppercorns
8 garlic cloves
large handful coriander stalks
1 stalk lemongrass , chopped
1 lime , juiced
3 tbsp Thai fish sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 metal skewer undefined

Steps:

  • Crush the peppercorns using a pestle and mortar, then add the garlic and crush again. Add the coriander stalks and chopped lemongrass, and bash to a rough paste. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves. Poke a metal skewer through the leg and breast on either side of the chicken (see our video on how to spatchcock a chicken), then replace with a lemongrass stalk. Sit the chicken in a dish and pour over the marinade - squelch it around so the bird is completely coated, then cover and chill in the fridge for as long as possible or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge an hour before cooking. Set a lidded barbecue up for indirect cooking with a foil drip tray on the coal-free side. When the coals are very hot, lay the chicken, bone-side down, over the coal-free side, with the legs closest to the coals.
  • Cover with the lid and arrange the vents for maximum air circulation. Cook the chicken for 50 mins-1 hr until a thermometer reads 70C (or a little higher) when stuck into the thickest part of the thigh or the juices run clear. Poke the coals about so they flare up again, then, using a pair of tongs, carefully flip the chicken, so it's skin-side down over the coals. Cook until the skin has browned and the thermometer reads 75C. Lift onto a board, leave to rest for 10 mins, then remove the lemongrass and carve.

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.

THAI BARBECUE SAUCE



Thai Barbecue Sauce image

I know, that's a really long ingredient list. Pretty simple to make, though. The sauce is very flavorful without being very hot; I use it as a marinade or a stir-fry sauce most often.

Provided by ChrisMc

Categories     Sauces

Time 55m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 ounces fresh ginger, minced
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon garlic and red chile paste
1/4 cup honey
5 ounces tomato juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup plum sauce
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
10 tablespoons soy sauce
1 ounce fresh cilantro, chopped
2 1/2 ounces fresh lemongrass, chopped
3 ounces brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Heat the sesame oil and cook onion (be careful, sesame oil has a low flashpoint and burns easily).
  • Add ginger and cook 5 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and cook 20 minutes.
  • Strain and cook another 20 minutes.
  • This will keep well in the refrigerator.

Tips:

- To tenderize and enhance the flavor of your chicken or pork, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator. - Use a large resealable plastic bag or glass dish to marinate the meat, ensuring it is fully coated in the marinade. - If you are short on time, you can marinate the meat for a shorter period of time, but the longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be. - You can use any type of chicken or pork for this recipe, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs and pork tenderloin or chops work well. - For a spicier marinade, add more chili peppers or red pepper flakes. - If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari. - Serve the grilled chicken or pork with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This Thai barbecue marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your chicken or pork. With its combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this marinade is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or party. So next time you're looking for a new way to grill chicken or pork, give this Thai marinade a try!
