THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YANG)
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!

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.
THAI GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Mix the marinade ingredients together in a cup except for the pepper. Slather over chicken, ensuring all parts are equally covered with marinade. Then sprinkle ground pepper all over the chicken's surface.
- Allow chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 to 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
- If using the oven: Set oven to broil and place chicken on a broiling pan or a foil-lined baking sheet (turn out the sides of the foil to prevent juices from spilling into the oven).
- Place chicken on the second-to-highest rung of your oven, allowing it to cook 5 minutes each side, then turning.
- Continue broiling and turning until cooked (chicken will be lightly charred around the edges). Use the leftover marinade to baste chicken the first time you turn it.
- If using a grill: Place chicken over a hot grill and cook until well done. Use leftover marinade to baste chicken when you turn it the first time.
- To make the dressing: place water, lemongrass, and lime leaf strips in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute (this will soften the lemongrass and bring out the flavor of the lime leaf or zest). Remove from heat.
- Add the rest of the dressing ingredients and mix well.
- Taste the dressing. It should be tangy, or a balance of salty, sweet, spicy, and sour. Adjust it to your taste by adding more fish sauce if not flavorful or salty enough, more lime juice if too salty or sweet, more sugar if too sour, or more chili sauce if not spicy enough for your taste.
- Toss the salad with the dressing. Portion out the salad among individual plates, and top with the fresh herbs, then strips of the hot chicken.
- Serve immediately, while the chicken is still warm.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade in a mixing bowl or a plastic air tight bag. Marinate chicken at least 1 hour to overnight.
- Add all ingredients for the dressing in a measuring cup or a glass jar. Whisk until it's well combined. Taste the dressing if it's perfect to your taste. Add more fish sauce for saltiness, sweetness for palm sugar and sourness for lime juice to your taste. Add freshly chopped Thai chili, if you want super spicy! Set aside. You can keep this dressing in a refrigerator for 7 days.
- Grill the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes each side or until nicely charred outside and juicy yet fully cooked inside. Let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes then cut into bite sizes.
- Now, if you are serving the whole thing at once, in a large mixing bowl, add all the vegetables for the salad, grilled chicken, chili flakes and roasted rice powder. Drizzle the dressing and the juice from the plate where grilled chicken was resting. It's all flavor!! Toss away until well combined.
- Garnish with some more roasted rice powder. Serve with any side dishes you'd like to enjoy. I love just digging in to the salad with ice cold beer, but sticky rice or warm cooked jasmine rice will go amazingly with the salad too!
- You can also keep the ingredients - the grilled chicken, the dressing and the veggies -separately and enjoy anytime you're ready!

Steps:
- Stir together the marinade and pour over the chicken strips. Toss to coat, then set in the refrigerator to marinate while you prepare the salad greens.
- Stir the salad dressing ingredients together in a cup. Taste-test the dressing, looking for a tangy taste that is a balance between sweet and sour, salty and spicy (it should have some kick to it from the cayenne/chili). Add a little more sugar if it's too sour. Set aside.
- Heat up grill and lightly brush grill with a little vegetable oil. Grill your marinated chicken, basting it with the left-over marinate the first time you turn it. For oven-broiling, place chicken strips on a broiler pan (or on a foil-covered cookie sheet, turning up foil at the edges to prevent spilling). Set oven to broil setting and place chicken on one of the upper racks, turning it every 3-5 minutes, or until well done.
- For the mint and basil, stack the leaves on top of each other, then thinly slice into slivers and toss in with the salad. Add most to the salad and toss with most of the dressing. Portion out onto plates and top with the hot chicken strips. Drizzle remaining dressing over the chicken and top with remaining basil and mint. For those who like it spicy, minced fresh chili can also be sprinkled over.

GRILLED THAI CHICKEN SALAD
"My husband and I love to eat Thai and Indian food, but notice that most of these cuisines do not offer fresh salads on their menus," writes Grace Kunert of Salt Lake City, Utah. "This is a recipe we developed to keep all those ethnic flavors when we needed a light dinner."
