I grew up on this grilled chicken. This with sticky rice and som tum. We made som tum with green beans or carrots since papaya could not always be found. Though we never had it with tumeric, but I had it like this for the first time when I went to Thailand. Now I always add the tumeric.

I made this today after marinating for only 4 hours. It was superbly delicious and highly recommended! Extremely easy to prepare as well. Thank you!

Ingredients

(Serves 2)

* 2 whole Chicken thighs (cut some diagonal lines so heat can penetrate)
* Turmeric and Cheyenne pepper – Enough to marinade both thighs
* Salt to taste
* A few squeeze of lemon juice
* Some basting oil (Olive oil + light soy sauce + sugar + lemon juice)

Method

1. Marinade the thighs with enough turmeric (fresh or powder), lemon juice and salt for at least 1-2 hours prior to baking. Best if it’s over night.
2. Line baking tray with grease proof paper or silver foil. Place the thighs on the tray and bake at 200 degree Celsius, flipping occasionally.
3. Glaze with basting oil if you want the thighs to be more fragrant.
4. Grill for at least 40 minutes or till thoroughly cooked (when no more blood oozing out).

HI THERE, I GOT THIS RECIPE FROM ANOTHER SITE.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER CAN I USE THE MARINADE YOU STATED ( SOYA SAUCE+FISH SAUCE+SUGAR) AS BASTING RATHER THAN THE ONE GIVEN IN THE ORIGINAL RECIPE?
ALSO, YOUR RECIPE USES HOW MANY CHICKEN THINGS/DRUMSTICKS?
KINDLY ADVISE, WOULD LOVE TO TRY YOUR VERSION TOO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
