How to Make Bbq Thai Peppered Chicken

  1. Prick the chicken thighs all over with a fork.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine 4 cloves garlic, 1 inch ginger (peeled), 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon black peppercorns. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Rub the paste generously all over the chicken thighs.
  4. Wrap the chicken tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight).
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  6. Place the marinated chicken thighs in a wire BBQ grill frame (designed for fish or burgers).
  7. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the frame on the grill and baste the chicken with the soy sauce mixture.
  8. Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the skin is beautifully crisp. Flip the entire frame halfway through.
  9. Brush with remaining soy sauce mixture during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor and glaze.
