How to make thai grilled marinated chicken (gai yaang)

• Mix first 5 ingredients. Pour mixture over chicken in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• With the help of an adult, place chicken on grill over hot coals with skin side up. Cook 10 minutes. Turn every 10 minutes until done, about 40 minutes in all. Chicken is done when juices run clear after flesh is pierced with a fork. If you prefer, broil chicken in preheated broiler 40 to 45 minutes, turning often so that all sides are cooked evenly. To bake chicken, place chicken in a baking dish in a 400 degrees F oven. Bake 30 to 45 minutes.
• Serve chicken with nam pla prig or with sweet and sour sauce.

When checking chicken for doneness, it's a good idea to cut it open gently to make sure the meat is white (not pink) all the way through.

Preparation time: 10 minutes (plus 4 hours for marinating)
