Kai yang
Kai yang is a delicious dish from Thailand. It is a grilled chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of Thai spices and herbs, giving it a unique and aromatic taste. The chicken is often served with sticky rice and a spicy dipping sauce, making it a popular street food in Thailand.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken (you can use bone-in chicken thighs or a whole chicken, cut into pieces)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemongrass finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped cilantro leaves, lemongrass, fish sauce, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sugar, and ground black pepper. Mix everything together to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken pieces in a large container or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Seal the container or bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred on the outside. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Kai yang with sticky rice and a spicy dipping sauce of your choice.
