Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, fish sauce, ground allspice, ground turmeric, and chopped cilantro.

Step 2

Carefully mince the Scotch bonnet pepper (wear gloves if needed), and add it to the bowl. Adjust the quantity based on your spice tolerance.

Step 3

Mix the marinade well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Place them into a large resealable bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if using an oven, preheat to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 8

Brush the grill or a baking sheet with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 7-10 minutes per side on the grill, or bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

While the chicken cooks, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 5-7 minutes to create a flavorful sauce.

Step 10

Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the Thairibbean Spicy Chicken with the reduced sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
