Gai Thai BBQ Chicken: A Flavorful and Easy-to-Make Dish. If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, you’re probably familiar with gai yang, a popular Thai grilled chicken dish. Gai yang is marinated in a flavorful mixture of herbs and spices before being grilled to perfection. In this article, we’ll introduce you to a similar dish, gai Thai BBQ chicken, which is just as delicious and easy to make at home.
Ingredients:–
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, ground
1 tablespoon of cumin seeds, ground
1 tablespoon of turmeric powder
1 tablespoon of paprika
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime
Salt, to taste
Vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, paprika, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well to coat them with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. When you’re ready to cook the chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the BBQ grates with vegetable oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken pieces on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Serve the gai Thai BBQ chicken with steamed rice, or your favorite Thai side dishes such as papaya salad, cucumber salad, or grilled corn on the cob.Enjoy your delicious gai Thai BBQ chicken, and impress your family and friends with your Thai cooking skills!
