Ingredients

  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 thumb-size ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse chicken well and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a food processor, or with a mortar and pestle, combine coriander, ginger, and garlic. Pulse a few times or mash to a coarse paste.
  3. In a bowl, combine paste, coconut milk, fish sauce and lime juice. Stir until blended.
  4. In a resealable bag, combine chicken and marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain chicken from marinade, discarding liquid.
  5. Lightly oil grill grates and arrange chicken in a single layer on hot grates. Over hot coals, grill chicken for about 5 to 7 minutes and then turn to grill the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes or until a thermometer inserted reads 165 F.
  6. Remove from heat and allow to rest for about 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For a kick of spice, add minced chili peppers or dried chili flakes to the marinade.
  • To keep the meat juicier and moister, limit turning during grilling.
