Mastering Laotian Fried and Grilled Chicken

A lot of people don’t realize that in Laos they make a mean Laotian fried chicken. It’s a speciality. They also make an amazing grilled chicken. While similar to the Thai, Gai Yang; which makes sense since they are neighbors. It’s got its own unique flavor, and uses copious amounts of black pepper.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Fish sauce
  • 2 Tbsp low sodium Soy sauce
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 4 cloves Garlic pressed or grated.
  • 1 Tbsp coconut Sugar or Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp ground Black Pepper
  • ½ cup 35gms finely chopped Cilantro/Coriander. Stems are fine too.
  • 3 lbs. 1.35kg Chicken, 2 lbs if using boneless. I personally prefer boneless skinless thighs.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Combine all your ingredients to create your marinade. Pour over the chicken and let it marinade for at least 24 hours.
  2. Shake off any excess marinade and grill over charcoal, or it also works well in the air fryer.
  3. Garnish with cilantro/coriander, if desired. Serve with coconut rice
