There are BBQ chickens, and then there is Kai Yang – Thai BBQ Grilled Chicken. Perfectly grilled over open charcoal fire, it’s juicy, moist, with perfect fragrant that makes you swallow in anticipation of the signature taste – rich, well rounded sweet and salty and all the things that makes Thai food not good, but GREAT.

- 1 TBS of Coriander root, chopped
- 20 cloves of Thai garlic, peeled
- 1 TSP of white pepper corn
- 1 TBS of Fish Sauce
- A pinch of Palm Sugar
Method:
- Using a pestle and mortar, pound all of the dry ingredients together into a fine paste.
