Thai Garlic Chicken image

This is my favourite chicken recipe as it is so easy and full of wonderful Thai flavours. It was given to me by a neighbour who originally comes from Barbados. I usually cook this in a ridged grill pan and serve with Ken Hom's green ginger rice and fiery corn - from Ken Hom's Travel with a Hot Wok. I often double the recipe and freeze portions in the marinade in ziplock bags.
