LAOTIAN GRILLED CHICKEN (PING GAI)

Laotian Grilled Chicken (Ping Gai) image

This particular ping gai (Laotian for 'grilled chicken') recipe seems to have originated from the Queen Mother Cafe in Toronto, so some North-Americanization may have occurred. But rest assured, this is at least twice as good as your average grilled chicken, North American or otherwise. Generous amounts of freshly ground pepper and chopped cilantro are the main players in the marinade, while a sweet, garlicky dipping sauce is the perfect accompaniment.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, or more to taste
1 large bunch fresh cilantro stems and leaves
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pinches cayenne pepper
10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
⅔ cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 lime, juiced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (chile paste)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
¼ cup freshly chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste

Steps:

Grind peppercorns coarsely using a mortar and pestle, electric grinder, or spice mill.
Chop cilantro finely and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in the freshly ground pepper, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, oil, and cayenne. Add chicken thighs and toss by hand until completely coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours.
Combine rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, sambal, fish sauce, cilantro, and honey to make the dipping sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat grill for medium- to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place chicken thighs on the grill, discarding any excess marinade. Cover and grill until thighs spring back to the touch, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 155 degrees F (68 degrees C). Slice and serve with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

- To achieve tender and flavorful chicken, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and results in a more enjoyable dish. - Don't overcrowd the steamer basket. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to uneven steaming and undercooked chicken. - Use a heat-resistant container that fits inside your steamer. This will prevent the chicken from sticking to the steamer basket and make cleanup easier. - Keep an eye on the chicken while it's steaming. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces and the type of steamer you're using. - Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs like cilantro, mint, or basil before serving. This adds a vibrant flavor and aroma to the dish.
