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!

Ingredients

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.

2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated peeled gingerroot
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame seed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
3 cups broccoli florets (about 7 oz)
8 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 3 lb)
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F.
In small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the Sriracha sauce, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil, the gingerroot and garlic. Reserve 1/4 cup of the hoisin mixture to brush on chicken just before serving.
In another small bowl, beat honey, vegetable oil, remaining 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil, the sesame seed and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt with whisk. In medium bowl, add half of the honey mixture, and toss with the carrots. Reserve remaining honey mixture.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, toss broccoli with remaining honey mixture.
Brush tops of chicken with remaining hoisin mixture, and add the broccoli to the carrots. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F) and vegetables are lightly brown and just tender. Brush reserved 1/4 cup hoisin mixture onto chicken, and serve.
