New Thai BBQ Chicken (Gai Yang)
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 5 hr (includes marinating time)
Active: 15 min
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

One 3 1/2-pound (1.6-kg) whole chicken
1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup (84 g) red curry paste (see Cooks Note)
2 teaspoons (10 g) minced garlic
1 tablespoon (15 g) white sugar
2 tablespoons (13 g) curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Sweet chili sauce, for dipping

Directions

Special equipment: a meat thermometer

Split the chicken in half. Poke holes in the chicken using a fork and place it in a gallon-size zip-top bag.

Make the marinade by combining the remaining ingredients, except the sweet chili sauce, in a medium bowl. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken in the bag. Close the bag and massage well to coat it evenly. Make sure the bag is zipped tight then place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place a rack just below the middle position. Lay the chicken halves skin-side up on a foil-lined sheet pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) in the fleshy part of the thigh. Pull from the oven and rest for at least 10 minutes. You can cut each half into four pieces and serve immediately, or finish on the grill to get some marks and extra flavor. Always serve with sweet chili sauce!

Cooks Note

For those who are allergic to shellfish, a lot of curry pastes contain shrimp, so make sure to check before cooking with them. As a bonus, when you find a brand of curry paste sans shrimp, that paste is almost always vegan for your vegetable curries.

Papaya Salad (Som Tum Thai)
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 20 min
Active: 20 min

Ingredients

Dressing:
1/4 cup (60 ml) fish sauce
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons (42 g) palm sugar or brown sugar
1 tablespoon Thai salted dried shrimp
1 tablespoon (12 g) msg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 3 fresh Thai chilies, minced

Salad:
8 to 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered, divided
1 cup (85 g) green beans or long beans, cut on the bias into 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) lengths, divided
4 cups (640 g) young green papaya, grated
1 cup (120 g) chopped roasted peanuts, divided

Directions

To make the dressing, place the fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, dried shrimp, msg, garlic, chilies, four of the cherry tomatoes and 1/4 cup (21 g) of the beans into a blender and pulse them together for about 5 seconds.

The dressing should be slightly chunky, not smooth. Alternatively, use a large mortar and pestle to smash to a chunky consistency. Adjust the number of chilies depending on how spicy you like your food.

To assemble the salad, in a large bowl, toss the papaya, remaining tomatoes, remaining beans and some of the peanuts together with the dressing to taste. Make sure to aggressively mix the ingredients to slightly break up the tomatoes and beans. Garnish the salad with the remaining peanuts.
