CLASSIC THAI BBQ GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE (WITH TANGY DIPPING SAUCE)



Classic Thai BBQ Grilled Chicken Recipe (with Tangy Dipping Sauce) image

Try this classic Thai BBQ chicken recipe, marinated in a garlicky sweet and sour sauce, then easily barbecued (or oven-baked) to perfection.

Provided by Darlene Schmidt

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 fresh chicken (chopped into small parts) or 4 pieces chicken
Marinade:
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. dark soy sauce ( or 1 more tbsp. regular soy sauce)
2 tbsp. fish sauce
3 tbsp. sherry (cooking sherry works well too)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. black peppercorns (crushed with pestle & mortar) or 1 tsp. coarsely-ground black pepper
10 cloves garlic (minced)
1 red chili (minced, to taste)
Dipping Sauce or Glaze:
2/3 cup rice vinegar (or another type of vinegar: white, white wine, or apple cider)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 fresh red chili (minced) or 1/3 to 1/2 tsp. dried crushed chili or cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. fish sauce

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
  • Add chicken, turning several times to ensure the chicken is covered and literally bathed in the marinade. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours, or overnight is even better.
  • To make the dipping sauce/glaze, place all the dipping sauce/glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil (the smell will be quite pungent as the vinegar burns off). Reduce heat slightly to keep it on a gentle boil. When sauce has reduced to 1/3 and is bubbling all over the surface, remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools and should taste tangy - a mixture of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Note that it's best to make the sauce right before eating, or it will thicken too much. If this happens, reheat and add a little water.
  • Brush your grill with a little vegetable oil, then grill the chicken, turning occasionally. Brush the chicken with the leftover marinade for the first 10 minutes or so, then discard marinade. (If the weather doesn't cooperate, see tip below recipe.)
  • Serve with the dipping sauce on the side, or spoon a little sauce over each piece of chicken as a glaze before serving. This dish goes well with a salad or served with rice. ENJOY! If the Weather Doesn't Cooperate: Cook the chicken in your oven!
  • Place chicken pieces on a grill pan or on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, or until chicken is nearly done (thicker pieces may need slightly longer).
  • Then Turn oven to the "broil" setting (on "high" if you have a choice), and move chicken to one of the upper racks of your oven.
  • Baste both sides of chicken with the leftover marinade, or with a little of the dipping sauce, then broil 3-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (stay near the oven for this process, or chicken may burn).

2 tablespoons red curry paste
2 pounds chicken breasts and thighs, on the bone
1 tablespoon finely chopped chiles
1/2 cup white vinegar

BARBECUED THAI CHICKEN



Barbecued Thai chicken image

Try this Thai chicken next time you have a barbecue. The marinade is heady with exotic flavours and lemongrass stalks hold the spatchcocked chicken together

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

medium chicken (about 1.5kg), spatchcocked
2 stalks lemongrass , kept whole
1 tsp black peppercorns
8 garlic cloves
large handful coriander stalks
1 stalk lemongrass , chopped
1 lime , juiced
3 tbsp Thai fish sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 metal skewer undefined

Steps:

  • Crush the peppercorns using a pestle and mortar, then add the garlic and crush again. Add the coriander stalks and chopped lemongrass, and bash to a rough paste. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar and mix until the sugar dissolves. Poke a metal skewer through the leg and breast on either side of the chicken (see our video on how to spatchcock a chicken), then replace with a lemongrass stalk. Sit the chicken in a dish and pour over the marinade - squelch it around so the bird is completely coated, then cover and chill in the fridge for as long as possible or overnight.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge an hour before cooking. Set a lidded barbecue up for indirect cooking with a foil drip tray on the coal-free side. When the coals are very hot, lay the chicken, bone-side down, over the coal-free side, with the legs closest to the coals.
  • Cover with the lid and arrange the vents for maximum air circulation. Cook the chicken for 50 mins-1 hr until a thermometer reads 70C (or a little higher) when stuck into the thickest part of the thigh or the juices run clear. Poke the coals about so they flare up again, then, using a pair of tongs, carefully flip the chicken, so it's skin-side down over the coals. Cook until the skin has browned and the thermometer reads 75C. Lift onto a board, leave to rest for 10 mins, then remove the lemongrass and carve.

  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes. Some popular options include peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or jasmine rice.
