Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken leg quarters
- 0.5 cup Coconut vinegar
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Annatto oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut vinegar, lemon juice, fish sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, annatto oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken leg quarters in the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 15 minutes on one side, then flip.
Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade periodically to keep it moist and flavorful.
Cook for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, optionally with a side of pickled vegetables to complement the chicken's smoky flavor.
