Cambodian Grilled Chicken Recipes

MOUAN ANG ( CAMBODIAN GRILLED CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Mix the oil, sugar, garlic, soy sauce, pepper and salt in a bowl.
• Add the chicken and rub the mixture into the chicken flesh. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat the grill, rub with oil, then add the chicken when hot. Let it cook for until browned on all sides and chicken reaches and internal temperature of 170 degrees about 25 minutes . If chicken starts to get too dark move off of the direct heat and continue to cook on the cooler part of the grill.

CAMBODIAN BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare a barbecue for cooking. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Slice the log of barbecue paste into disks and dot the chicken with them.
• When the coals are hot, place the chicken, with the pasted side facing up, on a grill. Cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your grill, until the juices run clear. Don't turn. Carefully scrape the paste off the chicken and serve with rice. For a more intense flavor, drizzle lemongrass oil (see recipe above) over the chicken after removing from grill.

GRILLED CURRY CHICKEN ON A STICK (CAMBODIA)

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Place the chicken strips on skewers and pour the rest of the marinade over. Cook on a grill over low heat until the chicken is golden brown all over (I just put mine under the broiler. They really do need an open flame.).
• Serve with mango salsa on the side.
