Butterflied Thai Chicken Recipes
THAI GRILLED CHICKEN (GAI YANG)
The marinade for this chicken is true to the authentic Thai grilled chicken (Gai Yang). Traditional Gai Yang is served with a dipping sauce but I find chicken thighs so juicy that it doesn't need it. Instead, I incorporate the flavour into the Marinade. Traditionally this is cooked over charcoal which gives it a wonderful smokey flavour. But it really is fantastic even cooked on the stove or in the oven, though my preference is to cook it on the outdoor grill. The key ingredients are the lemongrass and fish sauce - don't omit or substitute these!

Steps:
- Place Marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Massage to mix.
- Add the chicken into the ziplock bag and massage to spread the marinade over all the chicken. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours).
- Remove chicken from the Marinade and discard the Marinade (unless baking in the oven - refer Note 3).
- Heat the outdoor grill on medium high. Or heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat on the stove.
- Cook the chicken until golden brown - around 3 minutes each side.
- Rest for a few minutes before serving with lime wedges on the side, and garnished with fresh chilies and cilantro, if using.
BUTTERFLIED ASIAN CHICKEN
Steps:
- For the Chicken:
- Remove neck, giblets and cut away excess fat from 1 whole roasting chicken. Take a pair of kitchen shears and cut along both sides of backbone to remove it. Turn chicken skin-side up and press down between the breasts to break the keel bone. This will allow the chicken to lay very flat on grill and cook quickly.
- In a small bowl, combine the Chinese five-spice and ground ginger. Sprinkle liberally over all sides of chicken. Set aside.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, pre-minced ginger (from a jar) and the brown sugar. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes before using.
- Set up outdoor or indoor grill on medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
- Place chicken on preheated grill. Flip after 15 minutes and glaze top. Turn and brush every 15 minutes until internal temperature of the thigh is 180 degrees F, about 45 minutes total. Transfer to cutting board and let it rest 5 minutes before cutting.
- Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and serve.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN, THAI BRINERATED
From dadcooksdinner.com
- Butterfly the chicken by cutting out the backbone, and flattening the breastbone by pressing down hard with the back of your hand. Fold the wing tips back under the wing, then and put each chicken in a large (1 gallon) ziploc bag. (Or, put them in a baking dish that is wide enough for the chickens to sit flat in the brinerade, and flip them every 15 minutes to coat evenly.)
- Prepare the marinade in this order: first, drop the cloves of garlic into a running food processor, and wait until they are finely minced. Next, add the cilantro stems and coriander seeds, and pulse the food processor until finely minced. Add the soy sauce, peanut oil and garlic paste, and process until well combined. Pour half into each bag with the chicken. Zip the bag halfway, then squeeze out all the air you can and seal it. Now turn the bag over a few times and massage the chicken through the bag, until the brinerade is covering the chicken evenly. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 1 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, make the Thai Dipping Sauce by putting all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisking until the sugar dissolves.
- Prepare your grill for cooking on indirect high heat. For my Weber kettle, I light a chimney starter full of charcoal, wait for it to be covered with ash, then pour it in two equal piles on the sides of the grill, and put the drip pan in the middle, between the piles.
- Put the chicken on the grill, over the drip pan, skin side down. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken skin side up and cook, covered, until the chicken is done, about 15 minutes. You want the chicken to be 160°F in the thickest part of the breast, and at least 170°F in the deepest part of the thigh.

- Place the black peppercorns in a pestle and mortar and pound to crack. Add the garlic cloves and continue pounding until you have a thick paste. Throw in the lemongrass and coriander stalks and continue pounding so that all of the ingredients are coarsely pounded with no really big bits. Stir in the remaining ingredients and transfer to a large bowl or deep plate.
- Place the chicken upright on its legs so that it looks like it is sitting down. Using a sharp knife slice downwards between the two breast to butterfly it. Put the butterflied chicken into the marinade and rub the marinade all over it. I usually loosen the skin too and rub some of the marinade under the skin so that it is in direct contact with the meat but this is optional.
- When ready to cook, set up your barbecue for direct heat cooking. This is a slow cooking process so when the coals are white hot and ready, spread them out some so that the heat isn't too intense.
