Below is a basic, abbreviated version of the recipe together with this tiddly video trailer

BBQ Chicken Recipe
(Gai Yaang)
How to BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:
Serves 2 (with rice)
1 chicken
giblets
garlic
coriander roots
pepper corns white
salt
seasoning sauce
sugar
dark sweet soy sauce
chicken stock

Barbecue Sauce for dipping (Separate Recipe)

Preparation:
chicken into portions first and perform final cuts (as per video), this is important for this cooking method
same for the chicken livers and hearts and place them all in a large bowl ready for the marinade
half the garlic cloves
chop coriander roots (use just stems if you can’t get the full roots)

The Marinade
Pestle and Mortar: pound the peppers, coriander roots and garlic as per video
You should end up with a moist aromatic pulpy texture (see video) which you add to the cut chicken and livers
add chicken stock powder, seasoning sauce, sugar, salt and dark sweet soy sauce mix well together by hand and leave to stand for 20 minutes or more

Barbecue Time:
mature barbecue ie. Not too flaming hot!
chuck on your pieces of chicken and turn every 3 minutes or so, unlike western style bbq methods these require much shorter cooking times to cook the meat through thoroughly whilst still leaving it moist and succulent
thread you chicken liver pieces onto bbq sticks and cook turning carefully as they can break or stick
do the same with the hearts, these are traditionally put onto bbq skewers in threes, separately from the livers also thread wings onto sticks as per video to ensure even cooking

Serving Ideas:
Serve up on a large plate with some coriander, sliced Tomato and Cucumber, and a small bowl of the delicious Spicy Sour Sweet BBQ Sauce you can even serve it with hot Jasmine rice but here’s a different very traditional suggestion.

Thais will share a BBQ like this over a beer or whisky and chat as they dig into this very tasty BBQ Chicken recipe.  When served with rice as part of a full meal they will typically serve it with Sticky Rice, Green Papaya Salad aka Som Tam or Laab Gai (Hot Chicken Salad)

Other ideal accompaniments to this delicious BBQ Chicken Recipe is our Tom Yum Gung Recipe (spicy sour Shrimp Soup). It also goes great with Basil Chicken Stir Fry (Pad Gapow Gai).  For another really nice soup try our Chicken and Coconut Soup aka Tom Kha Gai
