Thai Marinade Recipes

THAI CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a medium bowl or a Ziploc bag and mix thoroughly, making sure that the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the chicken and marinate overnight. I find that overnight (or even up to 24 hours) marination gives the chicken optimal flavor.If you are pressed for time, marinate for at least 2 hours. You may also want to make small slits in the meat or make small holes with a fork as this will allow for quicker marinade penetration inside the meat.
• After marination, remove excess marinade from the chicken pieces and grill over direct heat on a grill preheated to about 325F. As there is sugar in the marinade, make sure to keep an eye on the chicken and flip frequently to avoid burning. If using a charcoal grill, grill with a lid on to avoid flareups.

THAI BARBEQUE MARINADE

THAI MARINADE [STEAK, PORK, CHICKEN OR FISH]

Steps:

• Blend everything in food processor. Use to marinate meat [8 hours or overnight], chicken [4-6 hours], or fish [1-2 hours]. I simply combine the sauce and the meat in a large ziplock bag and put it in the refrigerator for the alloted time. Then it's good to go on the grill. Heat the marinade and serve it on the side. The sauce will taste a little different every time, just because the chilies can be so unpredictable.
