Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, fish sauce, ground allspice, ground turmeric, and chopped cilantro.
Carefully mince the Scotch bonnet pepper (wear gloves if needed), and add it to the bowl. Adjust the quantity based on your spice tolerance.
Mix the marinade well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Place them into a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if using an oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Brush the grill or a baking sheet with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 7-10 minutes per side on the grill, or bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 5-7 minutes to create a flavorful sauce.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the Thairibbean Spicy Chicken with the reduced sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
