Thai Garlic Chicken Recipes

THAI GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut gashes into chicken, through skin if present.
• Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a deep glass bowl.
• Put the chicken pieces in the bowl, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly and press into gashes.
• Cover and leave the chicken in the marinade at least 2 hours; mix it around at some point during this time using 2 forks.
• Next cook the chicken in a foil-lined oven pan at the top of a hot oven (250c) for 20-30 minutes, or grill/broil it, or cook on the BBQ at medium heat for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
• Keep basted with the marinade while cooking.
• Serve with buttered rice, perhaps some wild rice mixed in, along with fresh greens and a salad.

KAI YANG (THAI GARLIC CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into serving pieces as follows: Separate main wing bones from the second wing bones; cut the breast halves from the carcass and cut them, with the skin, into two-inch cubes; cut each thigh in half across the bone to make four pieces; remove the legs, chop off and discard the leg end bones.
• Combine the coriander, lemon juice, peppercorns and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken pieces and blend well with the spice mixture. Let stand at least one hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for barbecuing. Add the chicken pieces and cook, turning often, until done. The boneless pieces will cook in about 10 minutes or less. The pieces with bone in will cook in about 20 minutes or longer.
