Vietnamese Marinade For Chicken Recipes

GRILLED VIETNAMESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• PREPARE CHICKEN: Trim larger pieces of fat from chicken (don't worry about smaller ones - they'll burn off). Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking. I use the bottom of a pot or heal of my hand.
• MARINATE CHICKEN: Place all marinade ingredients in a ziploc bag or sealed container. Mix or squish bag to combine well. Add chicken, Seal bag/container and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in fridge.
• HEAT GRILL to medium-high. Oil grill with paper towel or spray.
• GRILL CHICKEN AND SERVE: Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade for sauce if desired Note 2). If using low salt soy sauce, lightly sprinkle chicken with salt. Grill chicken for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness of chicken. Instant thermometer should read 160F. Add green onions for last 2-3 minutes if using. Transfer chicken to plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Note 3 to bake.

GRILLED VIETNAMESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat grill.
• Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and stir them together.
• Make shallow slits across the chicken breast, going a little deeper in the thick end.
• Make shallow slits long ways, resulting in a slight diamond pattern in the meat.
• Put the chicken in the marinade and make sure some gets in the slits.
• This only needs to marinade for 10 or 15 minutes to pick up the flavor, I believe this is because of the slits.
• Place on grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink.
• Turn once during cooking.

RECIPETIN EATS' VIETNAMESE CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken, turn to coat. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight. 2. Heat oil in a skillet or frypan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown. If they darken too quickly, reduce heat. Alternatively, barbecue the chicken over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side. 3. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes before serving. 4. Serve with fresh lime, chilli, coriander, a side of Vietnamese red rice (see below) and Vietnamese coleslaw. Alternatively, make Vietnamese noodle bowls (bun ga nuong). Serving suggestions: Vietnamese red rice This traditional Vietnamese side dish is essentially a tomato fried rice! Melt 25 grams of butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Saute 1 minced garlic clove for 15 seconds, then add 3 cups of cooked, day old white rice, 1½ tablespoons tomato paste and 2 teaspoons Maggie seasoning (the Maggie seasoning can be substituted with half a teaspoon chicken stock powder and one teaspoon soy sauce). Vietnamese chicken noodle bowls (bun ga nuong) Serve this chicken on a bowl of rice vermicelli noodles topped with bean sprouts, julienned carrots, a generous handful of Vietnamese mint and coriander. Douse generously with nuoc cham dressing.

Steps:

• Mix canola oil, lemongrass, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fish sauce together in a mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved; add chicken and turn to coat in the marinade.
• Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake to remove excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.

VIETNAMESE CHICKEN SANDWICH (BáNH Mì)

Steps:

• PICKLED VEGETABLES: Combine the water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the daikon, carrots, and cucumbers to a large mason jar. Pour the pickling liquid over veggies, screw on the lid, and allow the vegetables to pickle in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 24 hours in advance.
• CHICKEN: Combine the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, mayo, lime zest, and sriracha (if using) in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, cover, and allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours. Cook the chicken on an indoor grill or a skillet until cooked through. The time will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly on the bias.
• ASSEMBLE BANH MI: Toast the baguettes if desired, spread mayonnaise on bread and top with chicken slices, pickled vegetables, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices. Serve warm.

VIETNAMESE NOODLES WITH LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients and set aside for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. (Note 4)
• Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a fry pan over medium heat (or heat the BBQ). Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off large bits of lemongrass (small bits should fall off during cooking).
• Place chicken in the pan and cook each side until dark golden brown and chicken is just cooked through - about 6 to 8 minutes in total.
• Remove from pan, shaking off any remaining bits of visible lemongrass and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Then slice into thin pieces.
• Combine the Nuoc Cham ingredients and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Adjust to your taste (spiciness, lime, sweetness) and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 3 minutes (or according to packet instructions), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together.
• Individual servings: Place noodles in bowl. Top with vegetables and herbs, and sliced chicken pieces. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of Nuoc Cham Sauce (be generous, ~ 4 tbsp per serving) and serve with lime wedges.
• DIY (my preferred way): Place chicken, vegetables, herbs, noodles and sauce in separate bowls / piled on platters. Then let everyone make their own bowls!

VIETNAMESE CARAMEL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine sugar, fish sauce, and black pepper in a shallow plate and turn chicken in the marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Combine water, fish sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Set caramel sauce aside.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and pan-fry chicken, skin-side up, until bottoms turn slightly crispy and brown, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until skin is slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and cook garlic for 30 seconds. Return chicken to the skillet and add caramel sauce. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Caramel sauce should be reduced and turn amber in color. Add jalapenos and cook for 1 more minute.

Steps:

• Whisk all marinade ingrediants together in a bowl.
• Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag and pour marinade over top.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 4 hours.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Chicken is easiest grilled if you brush vegetable oil liberally on the grill first so it doesn't stick.
• Grill, with lid down for 7 to 7 1/2 minutes per side.

VIETNAMESE LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallot in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
• Combine the chicken and marinade in a large bowl. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.) Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
• Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
• Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
• Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, sprinkled with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice (plus some thinly-sliced green onions) if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

VIETNAMESE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the chicken to a big bowl or a Ziplock bag.
• In a bowl, add the garlic, fish sauce, sugar and ground black pepper together. Stir to mix well.
• Add the marinade to the chicken wings, combine well so the chicken wings are well coated with the marinade. Marinate the chicken wings for two hours or best overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes or until the surface turns golden brown. Top with the crushed peanuts and cilantro and serve immediately.

VIETNAMESE-INSPIRED BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Prepare the marinade. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, fresh ginger, fish sauce, garlic, brown sugar, oil, lime juice and cilantro. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Add the lemongrass stalk.
• Pour the marinade into a container or gallon plastic zipper top bag (preferred method). Add the chicken and coat in the marinade.
• Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to 4 hours.
• Before removing the chicken from the refrigerator preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with foil. The chicken can be cooked directly on the foil or a wire rack may be inserted (allows any excess fat to drip into the pan below).
• Place the chicken on the pan or rack with space in between. Cook for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Instant read food thermometer recommended.

VIETNAMESE-STYLE BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place thighs in a large zipper-lock bag. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, ginger, chili-garlic paste, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cilantro, and oil. Pour marinade into bag with chicken, seal bag, and toss to coat well. Let chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and set oven rack to middle position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Remove chicken from bag, allowing marinade to drip off, and set on wire rack skin side up, making sure to leave space between thighs. Discard marinade. Bake until thighs register 155 to 160°F (68 to 71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 minutes. (Be sure to measure temperature in the center of the thickest part of the thighs, but not directly against the bone.) If chicken skin is not brown and crisp enough by the time the thighs are cooked through, turn on oven broiler and broil until browned and crisp, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the skin. Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro, then serve.
