Inspired by Thai gai yang, this chargrilled chicken is marinated in a salty-sour sauce, then cooked in its own fat and served with a zingy salad
Welcome to a livestream from my kitchen, where I am eating this dish while I write about it. It is inspired by gai yang, a Thai dish of chargrilled chicken marinated in lemongrass, lime, coriander, garlic and fish sauce, and served with a crunchy, zippy salad. I serve mine with jasmine rice, to soak up all the fragrant juices from the chicken and dressing. Don’t be deterred by the ingredients list: it may look long, but you’ll likely have a lot of it in the cupboard. Over and out.
