Ping Gai - Laotian Grilled Chicken

Another Chef John recipe; another keeper!
Marinade:
1 to 2 Tblspns freshly cracked black pepper
Large bunch of cilantro, chopped fine, w/stems (or equal parts basil, parsley, mint)
3 Tblspns oyster sauce
2 Tblspns soy sauce
2 Tblspns fish sauce
2 Tblspns veg oil
Dipping Sauce:
2/3 cup rice vinegar*
Juice from one lime
4 cloves garlic minced
1 Tblspn Sambal Oelèk or other chili sauce
1 Tblspn fish sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 to 3 Tblspns honey
Mix up the marinade and pour over 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless cheekun breasts, 4-12 hours (I went overnight):

Grill over a hot fire (I went raised direct, cherry smoke) for five minutes. Turn and go another five minutes (here I put my baby bok choy on, with the sliced side of the bulb facing the coals but the green leaves "hiding" on top of the cheekun). Everything cooks fast, I only went a couple minutes more.

Plated, with white rice and sprinkled with a couple spring onions (not in the recipe, but I had them).

Cheekun was a beautiful bronze color, and delicious. The dipping sauce was a bit much for me, next time I'll go with 1/3 cup rice vinegar and 1/3 cup water (you definitely want a good amount of white rice with this).
Will definitely be making this again!

I missed the honey in the dipping sauce, so you may want to adjust that, depending on taste.Botch said:^^^ That might be better; thanks!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
