Thai Garlic Chicken

This is my favourite chicken recipe as it is so easy and full of wonderful thai flavours. It was given to me by a neighbour who originally comes from barbados. I usually cook this in a ridged grill pan and serve with ken hom's green ginger rice and fiery corn - from ken hom's travel with a hot wok. I often double the recipe and freeze portions in the marinade in ziplock bags.

Steps

Cut gashes into chicken , through skin if present.

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a deep glass bowl.

Put the chicken pieces in the bowl , making sure to coat each piece thoroughly and press into gashes.

Cover and leave the chicken in the marinade at least 2 hours.

Mix it around at some point during this time using 2 forks.

Next cook the chicken in a foil-lined oven pan at the top of a hot oven for 20-30 minutes , or grill / broil it , or cook on the bbq at medium heat for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Keep basted with the marinade while cooking.

Serve with buttered rice , perhaps some wild rice mixed in , along with fresh greens and a salad.
