Thai Chicken



I wanted to try something very different so I decided to cook a food style I never have before, Thai. This marinade had a lot of complex flavors to it which I liked. I had most of these ingredients already so trying this dish wasn't too expensive. So if you're feeling adventurous I say try some new things and make this dish!

Marinade Ingredients:

8 boneless skinless chicken Thighs or 4 chicken breasts
14 oz coconut milk
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tsp curry powder (sweet)
2 tbsp asian fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp black pepper (ground)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp. Hot Chili Sauce (Siracha)


Directions:
1. Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small container. Poke chicken repeatedly with a fork and then place in a plastic zip-lock bag. Pour marinade over chicken and into bag. Allow to marinade for 3-24 hours.

2. Use broiler in oven or grill to char chicken. This should take about 5 -10 minutes. Once the outside is crusty and charred finish in a 350 oven til cooked through.

3. Once the chicken is finished, remove to a plate and allow to rest while covered in foil. Serve with rice or another thai inspired side dish.
