• Combine the sauce ingredients: In a small bowl mix the rest of the ingredients together. Whisk until sauce is smooth.

• Drain chicken thighs and discard marinade. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add chicken to the preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the centers, 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve immediately.

• Stir in the curry paste. Cook for 5 additional minutes, stirring often. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while stirring to combine. Return the reserved chicken to the skillet.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The chicken will be fully cooked when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, and the juices run clear. (Note: Smaller chicken breasts may be done closer to the 15-minute mark.)
• Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh sourdough bread for mopping up the sauce if desired.

THAI CHICKEN MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a medium bowl or a Ziploc bag and mix thoroughly, making sure that the sugar has dissolved.
• Add the chicken and marinate overnight. I find that overnight (or even up to 24 hours) marination gives the chicken optimal flavor.If you are pressed for time, marinate for at least 2 hours. You may also want to make small slits in the meat or make small holes with a fork as this will allow for quicker marinade penetration inside the meat.
• After marination, remove excess marinade from the chicken pieces and grill over direct heat on a grill preheated to about 325F. As there is sugar in the marinade, make sure to keep an eye on the chicken and flip frequently to avoid burning. If using a charcoal grill, grill with a lid on to avoid flareups.

ONE POT THAI CHICKEN THIGHS + NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C | 400°F.
• To prepare the glaze, combine all of the glaze ingredients in a deep bowl; whisk until combined. Pour about 2 cups of the sauce into a small, non stick saucepan and reserve for later (you need only 1/4 cup of sauce for the marinade).
• Trim any extra skin and fat from the chicken thighs. Place the thighs into 1/4 cup of marinade and toss to evenly coat.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat and sear the thighs on both sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes each side).
• Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until cooked through (about 25-30 minutes). Change your oven settings to grill or broil, and broil for an extra 3 minutes, or until the skin is caramelised and slightly charred. They will look shiny from the glaze.
• While the chicken is in the oven, bring the remaining glaze to a simmer on low-medium heat, until the sauce bubbles up and begins to thicken (it should take about 3-5 minutes).
• In the last 10 minutes of the chicken cooking time, prepare the rice noodles to package instructions (usually placing them into a bowl and covering in boiling water for 5-6 minutes until softened).
• When the chicken is golden and crispy, remove from the oven; transfer to a warmed plate and keep warm by lightly tenting with foil.
• Drain half of the excess chicken fat from the skillet and remove any charred pieces (this is optional). Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add one cup of the glaze with the prepared noodles. Stir fry for about a minute to combine, add in the bean sprouts and carrots; stir fry for a further minute or two.
• Remove from heat; place the chicken back into the skillet over the noodles.
• Garnish with the green onion slices, red chilli and sprinkle with the crushed peanuts. Serve with the remaining glaze!

STICKY THAI CHICKEN

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place an ovenproof heavy bottomed skillet on the stove top over medium-high heat.
• Add the coconut oil to the skillet.
• Once melted, place the chicken thighs skin side down into the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the thighs, cook for another 2 minutes.
• Pour the sauce into the skillet coating both sides of the chicken in it. Arrange the chicken skin side up in the skillet and place in the oven to finish cooking, about 15 more minutes until skin starts to turn golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro and peanuts and serve with cooked rice.

BONNIE'S THAI THIGHS

Steps:

• 1. Note: Do some of the prep work ahead and it goes so smoothly. I combine the ingredients for the sauce and the ingredients for the garnish, and refrigerate until I am ready to bake the chicken. Then all you have to do is to put the thighs in the baking dish, put the sauce on the chicken, and pop it in the oven.
• 2. Here is how to brine the chicken. It is very easy to do. All you need is water and kosher salt to make the brine (not table salt) I use a tall gallon sized plastic container big enough to hold all the pieces and one that will fit in my refrigerator. Place 1/2 cup KOSHER salt in the container and add the water, stir well, and then add the chicken pieces. Let it brine only a couple of hours, then rinse the chicken, discard the brine, and return the chicken to the refrigerator. This step is important for tender, juicy chicken!
• 3. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the green onions (reserve the rest set aside) add garlic, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, ginger root, soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce.
• 4. TO MAKE THE CHICKEN: Place chicken thighs in a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with Pam. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 5. Spoon the sauce over the chicken evenly. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, basting periodically, until the chicken is brown and juices run clear.
• 6. TO MAKE THE GARNISH: Combine the reserved onions, coriander and parsley, and mix well.
• 7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the garnish, and serve with rice or noodles. Enjoy!
