Gai yang (ไก่ย่าง) is the Thai word for BBQ chicken. It is one of the most popular street foods which can be found throughout Thailand with many different types of BBQ chicken, depending on regional location and also just personal family recipes.

This recipe is from the BBQ chicken that I always get from Bangsan beach which is popular for Thai people. It’s 100 kilometers from Bangkok. It features seafood and BBQ chicken vendors. I have visited there since I was young. BBQ chicken at the street vendor is the best there…. Yum.

Grilled chicken (gai yang ไก่ย่าง) is especially common to eat along with Green Papaya Salad (Som Tum) and hot fresh sticky rice.

Ingredients

· 1.5 - 2 lb chicken – You can choose any cut of bone-in, skin-on chicken you prefer.
· 2 tbsp minced garlic
· 2 tbsp oyster sauce
· 1 tbsp soy sauce
· 1 tbsp palm/brown sugar
· 1 tbsp cilantro stem (4-5 stems)
· ½ tbsp ground turmeric or 1 tbsp fresh turmeric
· 1 tsp white peppercorns or powder
· ¼ tsp salt
· ¼ cup coconut milk or milk - If you like the rich coconut flavor, use coconut milk.

Marinate Chicken:

1. Trim any excess fat from the chicken
2. Poke with forks to get the marinade into chicken. Use a knife to cut a little next to the bone to help the chicken cook faster
3. Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Marinate chicken for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator. Bring them to room temperature before cooking.

Grilling:

1. Preheat your grill medium low 250 – 300 F (120 – 150 C) Clean & oil the grill.
2. Place chicken skin side up, cover it, check and flip over from time to time every 3-5 minutes. Coat chicken with the leftover marinade for more flavor and moist.
3. Total grill time is about 20 – 30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken or until cooked. If the chicken reaches 165 F, it’s cooked.

Air Fryer:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 370° F
2. Please chicken skin side down onto the basket. Air fry for 10 minutes then flip to the other side and air fry for another 10 minutes. Coat chicken with the leftover marinade for more flavor and moist.
3. Check if it’s cooked by checking the temperature 165 F. If it’s not fully cooked, just air fry a couple minutes more each side until it’s cooked.

Serve: Normally served with steamed sticky rice, steamed jasmine is fine as well. Excellent with Thai Papaya Salad
