A sensational marinade for poultry, this fragrant Asian-inspired recipe is perfect for satays, cornish hen, chicken breasts or plump juicy thighs. With a sweet delicate flavour, the marinated chicken caramelizes beautifully on the grill, allowing the intoxicating character of the marinade to shine through. Basting the chicken while on the grill ensures that the chicken stays moist and flavourful, as well as producing attractive grill marks for a lovely presentation. One of my favourite summer recipes, this Asian-Style chicken is delicious served with grilled zucchini and my friend Richards amazing Curried Couscous.
Serves 8
12 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
5 tsp black pepper
5 tsp cumin
5 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp turmeric
4 tsp garlic, minced
5 tbsp white sugar
5 tbsp vegetable oil
5 tbsp soy
5 tbsp lemon juice
5 tsp fish sauce
Trim the thighs of any excess fat then place into a large bowl with all the marinade ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 48 hours. Preheat an outdoor BBQ to high and grill the chicken thighs skin side first for about 6-8 minutes depending on the size, then turn them over for another 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through and deep golden brown with nice grill marks. Delicious served with some grilled vegetables or a light green salad.
