Best Grilled Thai Chicken Fillets With Coconut Noodles Recipes

GRILLED THAI CHICKEN FILLETS WITH COCONUT NOODLES

Steps:

• To make the noodles- place the dried noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for 10 minutes, or until tender, drain and rinse well until cool.
• Dissolve the sugar (or use Stevia) in the lime juice and pour over the noodles.
• Add the remaining ingredients for the Coconut and Coriander (Cilantro) Noodles and toss gentley to combine.
• To serve as a cold dish, you can now divide this among the serving plates.
• This noodle dish can also be served warm- either heat gentley in a saucepan or heat using a mcrowave.
• For the chicken- brush the chicken on both sides with the cobined curry paste and the oil to lightly coat. You may need to add a little extra oil if required, depending on how thick the green curry paste is.
• Preheat a char-grill, broiler or barbecue plate to high and cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked through.
• Serve the chicken with the noodles with wedges of lime and a light sprinkle of coriander/cilantro leaves.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YANG)

Steps:

• Add the lemongrass, cilantro (coriander), shallots, and garlic to a mortar and pestle, and pound until pulverized. You can also use a food processor for this step.
• Add the oil, sugar, salt, black pepper, Thai soy sauces, fish sauce and turmeric (if using). Mix until well-combined.
• You can butterfly or spatchcock your chicken for grilling like it's done on the streets of Thailand. However, I cut the chicken into individual pieces to ensure they'd cook properly. This way, I can pull each piece off the grill once cooked. Rub the chicken with the marinade paste, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight (or at least 12 hours).
• The next day, take the chicken out 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to grill.
• In a small bowl, mix the sugar and hot water until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in the rest of the sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Place the chicken on the grill, and use any remaining marinade to baste the chicken while grilling. Leave the marinade paste on the chicken, including any chunks of herbs as they will caramelize and add flavor. Turn and baste the chicken often to create a nice flavorful outer crust. Baste the chicken with the leftover marinade in the first half of the grilling process, but do not do this towards the end of cooking. The raw chicken marinade needs enough time to fully cook.
• Serve immediately with some coconut rice, your nam jim jeaw sauce, and lime wedges!

THAI COCONUT GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combined all prepared marinated items in a large Ziploc baggie along with chicken thighs. Seal baggie and massage marinade into the chicken well. Let set in frig for a minimum of 1 hour to overnight. The longer they sit, the more flavor they will develop.
• Preheat grill to reach med-high heat. Brush hot grill with olive oil so meat doe not stick. Strain off marinade into a small sauce pan, bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer until reduces to a thick consistency. Reserve half and use remaining as basting sauce during grilling process.
• Grill chicken for about 12 minutes on each side, basting with marinade reduction often.
• Remove from grill. top with reserved chopped green onion and serve reserved marinade reduction on side. I also like to serve mine with Green Sticky Rice and Orange Broccoli :).
