Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb chicken thighs
12 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp black peppercorns, whole, cracked to medium coursness
1 c cilantro, fresh, finely chopped
6-8 Tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed

Steps:

1. Make several slices into each chicken thigh to allow marinade to absorb better.
2. Mix garlic and salt into a smooth paste.
3. In a flat dish or large ziplock bag(s), combine garlic, peppercorns, cilantro and lime juice.
4. Place chicken in marinade and rub the mixture into the the chicken well.
5. Marinate overnight.
6. TIP: Place chicken on the part of the grill with no flames with the other half of the grill with medium to high flames and close the lid. This will partially bake the chicken while reducing the chance of burning due to flare ups. When almost done (after approximately 20 minutes), open the lid and finish cooking over the flame to crisp the outside of the thighs.

Thai Garlic Pepper Chicken Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by Dr_Mom

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 chicken breast, sliced into thin bite-size pieces (3/4 cup)
1/4 cup garlic cloves, smashed
3/4 teaspoon palm sugar (or white sugar)
3/4 teaspoon white pepper powder or :black pepper powder: (or mix 'em!)
1 3/4 teaspoons fish sauce
1-2 tablespoons oil (enough to coat bottom of pan)
2-3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon coriander leaves (for garnish)

Steps:

Rinse and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces (see picture). Smash the garlic lightly with the side of a knife. Remove the skin if not using thin-skinned Thai garlic. Heat the oil in a pan until very hot. Add the garlic and keep stirring so it doesn't burn. When (very) lightly browned, add the chicken (or meat, or whatever you're using!). Cook until done (not raw). If it gets dry and sticky, add some water to the pan about 1-2 tablespoons at a time. Add the palm sugar, fish sauce and pepper. You may need to add a bit more water here so that it mixes well. Mix well and serve on rice (for a one-dish meal), or in a plate (to share with friends). Garnish with cilantro. Note: If making a vegetarian version - pre-fry the tofu first until browned, remove, then start with step 2. Substitute the fish sauce for :white soy sauce:.
