Tried this one last night. The marinade is excellent but I'd say for the mess (splashes everywhere) it's best used for BBQs. I'm going to explore this recipe more though, I think next time I'll bake in the marinade and then char on the grill at the end.
Ingredients
1.5kg chicken thighs or drumsticks
8 garlic cloves, chopped
4 shallots, chopped
2 sticks lemongrass, thinly sliced
1 long red chilli, chopped
3cm-piece fresh ginger, chopped
60ml coconut milk
2 tbsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
4 fresh limes or lemons, halved
Method
Place garlic, shallot, lemongrass, chilli, ginger, coconut milk, fish sauce, ground coriander and turmeric in a food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer the marinade mixture to a large ceramic bowl.
Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat well.
Cover and place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to marinate.
Preheat griddle pan on medium-high.
Cook the chicken, turning occasionally until juices run clear.
Transfer to a platter and cover with foil for 10 minutes to rest.
Place limes cut-side down on the griddle and cook for 3-4 mins until lightly charred.
Serve chicken with grilled limes.
