📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

In a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the garlic cloves and fresh cilantro into a coarse paste.

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic-cilantro paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, palm sugar, ground white pepper, turmeric powder, coconut milk, lime juice, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form the marinade.

3

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and arrange the thighs skin-side down on the grill.

6

Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the skin is crisp and golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (measured with a meat thermometer).

7

Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

8

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice, cucumber slices, and a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping if desired.
