Gai Yang Nam Jim Jaew is a flavorful and aromatic Thai BBQ dish featuring marinated grilled chicken served with a spicy and tangy dipping sauce. This dish captures the essence of Thai street food while being healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams, boneless and skinless
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Coriander root - 2 teaspoons, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Fresh coriander leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, coriander root, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, black pepper, and vegetable oil to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
4. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
5. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing chili flakes with lime juice and fish sauce to taste.
6. Once the chicken is grilled, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
7. Serve the grilled chicken warm, garnished with fresh coriander leaves, alongside the dipping sauce.
