Thai Chicken (Gai Yang) – RecipeTin Eats
This Thai Chicken recipe is a simplified version of Thailand’s famous Gai Yang, or barbecue chicken. The marinade is made with lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar, giving the chicken a savory and aromatic flavor. Boneless chicken thighs are used for convenience, and the chicken can be cooked on a BBQ or stove. The marinade is key to getting that authentic Thai flavor, so marinating the chicken overnight is recommended. The chicken is cooked until bronzed and juicy, with charred edges, and served with a traditional Nam Jim Jaew sauce or sweet chili sauce. It is best served with coconut rice and raw slices of cucumber and tomato for freshness. Enjoy this delicious and flavorful Thai Grilled Chicken at home!
