Thai Grilled Chicken Recipe

Peel garlic, slice lemongrass, and prepare coriander roots.

Pound garlic, lemongrass, black peppercorns, and coriander roots in a mortar and pestle until coarse.

Mix pounded ingredients with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar, and water to form the marinade.

Butterfly the chickens and rub them with the marinade.

Marinate overnight or for a few hours.

Grill the Chicken:

Prepare charcoal for grilling.

Grill the chicken over indirect heat, basting occasionally with extra marinade, for about 1.5 hours until cooked through and golden brown.

Make the Sauce:

Mix toasted rice powder, chili flakes, sugar, fish sauce, and tamarind juice.

Adjust to taste and garnish with cilantro.
