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!

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 14

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.

Categories     Chicken

Time 12h45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 stalk lemongrass ((base of stalk, cut into small pieces; 50g))
1/2 cup cilantro ((also known as fresh coriander-stems and leaves, chopped; 25g))
2 shallots ((chopped; 35g))
8 cloves garlic ((chopped; 35g))
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((30 ml))
2 tablespoons palm sugar ((or light brown sugar; 25g))
3/4 teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Thai thin soy sauce
2 teaspoons Thai sweet soy sauce ((or black soy sauce))
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder ((optional))
1 whole chicken ((about 5-6 pounds; 2.2-2.6 kg))
1 tablespoon palm sugar ((or light brown sugar; 12g))
1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or concentrate
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sticky rice ((kao khua; ground to a powder, optional))
1 tablespoon cilantro ((chopped))
1 tablespoon scallions ((chopped))
2 teaspoons dried chili flakes ((or fresh Thai chili peppers, optional))

Steps:

  • Add the lemongrass, cilantro (coriander), shallots, and garlic to a mortar and pestle, and pound until pulverized. You can also use a food processor for this step.
  • Add the oil, sugar, salt, black pepper, Thai soy sauces, fish sauce and turmeric (if using). Mix until well-combined.
  • You can butterfly or spatchcock your chicken for grilling like it's done on the streets of Thailand. However, I cut the chicken into individual pieces to ensure they'd cook properly. This way, I can pull each piece off the grill once cooked. Rub the chicken with the marinade paste, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight (or at least 12 hours).
  • The next day, take the chicken out 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to grill.
  • In a small bowl, mix the sugar and hot water until the sugar is dissolved. Mix in the rest of the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Place the chicken on the grill, and use any remaining marinade to baste the chicken while grilling. Leave the marinade paste on the chicken, including any chunks of herbs as they will caramelize and add flavor. Turn and baste the chicken often to create a nice flavorful outer crust. Baste the chicken with the leftover marinade in the first half of the grilling process, but do not do this towards the end of cooking. The raw chicken marinade needs enough time to fully cook.
  • Serve immediately with some coconut rice, your nam jim jeaw sauce, and lime wedges!

Thai-Style Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) Recipe image

Thai-style grilled chicken, coated in a marinade flavored with cilantro, white pepper, and fish sauce, is one of the tastiest things you'll ever pull off your grill.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Mains

Time 3h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium cloves garlic
12 sprigs cilantro, including thick stalks
3 tablespoons (45g) palm or light brown sugar
2 teaspoons (10g) ground white pepper
1 teaspoon (5g) ground coriander
2 tablespoons (30ml) fish sauce
2 teaspoons (10ml) dark soy sauce
2 (3-inch) segments lemongrass (optional)
1 whole chicken, spine removed, split in half along the breastbone
1 recipe Thai-Style Sweet Chile Dipping Sauce

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, cilantro, sugar, white pepper, coriander, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, and lemongrass (if using) in the bowl of a food processor. Process until a rough paste is formed. Set aside.
  • Place chicken halves flat on a cutting board. Insert 2 metal skewers into each chicken half, running parallel through legs and breasts. Transfer chicken to a baking dish that just fits them. Rub on all surfaces with marinade. Cover, transfer to refrigerator, and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • When ready to cook, light 1 chimney full of charcoal . When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread coals evenly over half of coal grate. Alternatively, set half the burners of a gas grill to high heat. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate.
  • Place chicken, skin side up, on cooler side of grill, with legs facing toward hotter side. Cover grill, with vents on lid open and aligned over chicken. Open bottom vents of grill. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 140°F (60°C), about 45 minutes. Carefully flip chicken and place, skin side down, on hotter side of grill, with breasts pointed toward cooler side. Cover and cook until skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 145 to 150°F (63 to 66°C), about 3 minutes longer. (Be careful, as the skin is very prone to burning.) If chicken threatens to burn before temperature is achieved, carefully slide to cooler side of grill, cover, and continue to cook until done. Do not leave lid off for longer than it takes to check temperature, or chicken will burn.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Carve and serve with chile dipping sauce.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YAHNG)



Thai Grilled Chicken (Gai Yahng) image

Another recipe from Nancie McDermott's 'Real Thai'. This is my absolute favorite Thai recipe (the cookbook's spine is broken so that it always falls open to this recipe, that's how much I use it)! It's so amazingly good, yet really fairly simple. Apparently in northeastern Thailand, this is street food, halves of small grilled chicken sold by vendors as the delicious aroma fills the air. For a real treat, have your butcher halve Cornish game hens and grill those rather than chicken pieces or quarters. Prep time includes marinating time.

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons whole white peppercorns or 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaf, with stems
1/4 cup coarsely chopped garlic
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt, if desired
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (available in the Asian section of your grocery-I like Huy Phong brand, a.k.a. Rooster brand)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
4 lbs chicken pieces
hot cooked long-grain rice or jasmine rice

Steps:

  • To make pesto, crush or grind the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or in a spice or pepper grinder (empty grinder first, then pour in the measured peppercorns and grind until empty). Combine pepper, cilantro, and garlic and work into a smooth paste with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor. Add a little oil or water if needed to facilitate the grinding.
  • To make sauce, combine sugar, water, vinegar, garlic, and salt in a small, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat (Beware of the fumes! It will taste much, much better than it smells at this stage--vinegar fumes will make your nose itch and eyes water!). Stir to dissolve sugar and reduce heat to low. Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened to a light syrup consistency, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chili-garlic sauce. Cool to room temperature; if not using right away, transfer to a jar and seal tightly (can be stored at room temp for 2-3 days).
  • In a 1-gallon ziplock bag, combine 1/3 cup of the pesto (save remainder for another use), the soy sauce and the salt, if desired. Add chicken pieces and shake until coated. Cover and chill 1-2 hours, turning over now and then.
  • Prepare a hot coal fire or preheat a gas grill. Arrange chicken on grill and cook for about 45 minutes-1 hour (depending on size of pieces), turning now and then to cook evenly.
  • When chicken is done, transfer to a platter and serve with the sauce and some rice.

AUTHENTIC THAI GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE (GAI YANG ไก่ย่าง)



Authentic Thai Grilled Chicken Recipe (Gai Yang ไก่ย่าง) image

If you're looking for a delicious way to make grilled chicken, look no further than Thai style grilled chicken known as gai yang (ไก่ย่าง). The chicken is marinated in heaps of garlic, black pepper, lemongrass, palm sugar, and some soy sauce for saltiness. Thai grilled chicken is juicy and full of amazing flavor! Here's the full video recipe: http://youtu.be/3l9omsiaO2M which you should watch before anything else. Also, for more authentic Thai recipes, click here. Enjoy!

Provided by Mark Wiens (https://www.eatingthaifood.com/)

Categories     Grilled Chicken

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 whole chickens (mine were 1.8 kilos each)
Bamboo sticks or skewers
Charcoal
Grill
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons palm sugar
1 tablespoon sweet dark soy sauce (you can use kecap manis)
8 tablespoons water
4 heads garlic (30 - 40 cloves)
2 stalks lemongrass
2.5 tablespoons black pepper corns
8 fresh coriander roots (or you can try the powder coriander roots)
1.5 tablespoons khao kua (see method here)
1.5 tablespoons chili flakes
1 tablespoon of sugar
3 tablespoons fish sauce
8 tablespoons tamarind juice (you can add more or less according to how strong it is and how sweet and sour you want your sauce)
Few sprigs of cilantro

Steps:

  • For this recipe, I'm going to cook 2 full chickens, together weighing in at 3.6 kilos. If you wanted, you could also make this recipe with 3 - 4 kilos of chicken pieces, or really, however much chicken you want.
  • For this gai yang (ไก่ย่าง) to be at its finest, it's best to marinate the chicken overnight and grill it the next day, but if you don't have the time, marinate the chicken for at least a few hours.
  • Peel about 4 bulbs of garlic, which should be about 30 - 40 cloves in all.
  • Thinly slice 2 stalks of lemongrass and cut off the roots of 8 stalks of coriander.
  • Now comes the hard part, pounding everything using a mortar and pestle (If you don't have a mortar and pestle you can blend the ingredients in a food processor (but I'd really recommend you invest in a Thai style mortar and pestle).
  • Add small amounts of garlic, lemongrass, black peppercorns, and coriander roots to the mortar and pestle and pound them until the oils come out, and you have a coarse paste. Keep pounding until all the marinade ingredients are finished. You'll probably need to load the mortar a few times.
  • Put all the pounded marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl, stir them up, and add 4 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons of palm sugar. Mix everything together while adding about 8 tablespoons of water to the mixture. You should end up with a potent marinade that looks like a chunky garlicky sauce.
  • If you're using whole chickens, you'll want to butterfly cut them starting from the breast side down to the butt. Flatten the chickens out. This is going to prepare it for the grill (Watch the video to see how to do it).
  • In a big pan or mixing bowl start to rub the marinade on the chicken, making sure the garlic, herbs, and soy sauce go into all parts of the chicken. Rub down both chickens using all the marinade.
  • Cover the chickens and allow them to rest overnight. You might stir them a couple of times if you remember.
  • The next day, take out your chicken, and the first step is to light your charcoal. You want a low even heat, coals that aren't too hot, but a low and even.
  • Put the chicken on the grill and begin cooking!
  • Wait about 20 minutes or so (but monitoring them to make sure they don't burn), before making your first flip. You can baste the chicken with the extra marinade.
  • Cook the chicken on low heat for about 1.5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through to the bone and the skin is golden dark brown on the outside.
  • Take the chicken off the grill, and dismantle the bamboo supports.
  • If you have a Chinese cleaver, first cut the chicken in half from the neck to the butt, and from there cut off the drumstick, wing, and chop the rest of the chicken into strips.
  • Semi-dried tamarind pulp can usually be bought at the supermarket in a small block. To rehydrate it, get a couple tablespoons of hot water and start to work the tamarind into the hot water. This should turn it into a nice tamarind water sauce.
  • In a bowl, mix 1.5 tablespoons of khao kua (toasted sticky rice, recipe here), 1.5 tablespoons of chili flakes, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 8 tablespoons of tamarind juice.
  • Mix all of the ingredients together.
  • After mixing up the sauce, make sure you taste test. You're looking for the perfect sweet, sour, and salty combination. You might need to add more tamarind juice, more sugar, or more fish sauce to balance it out.
  • Top off your gai yang sauce with some chopped up cilantro.
  • Happy eating!

  • Preheat grill to medium. Oil the grill rack using a folded paper towel coated in vegetable oil. Hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding marinade. Grill, turning occasionally, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Optional: Preheat broiler to high. Place chicken in a roasting pan, discarding marinade. and broil about 5 inches from the heat, leaving the oven door ajar. Check after 8 minutes or so; the chicken pieces should be browning.

  • Serve the chicken with the dipping sauce.
