Chargrills: Thai Orange Chicken

Chargrills: Thai Orange Chicken

Pissed about the price of prawns? Give this chicken a crack. If this recipe was a famous person it would be Jonah Hill on 21 Jump Street. We’re talking missionary. We're talking when I'm on top and she's on her back. Good staple to start off with, but couldn't do it every time. Does it stand up to a Zinger box? Not even close.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 900g chicken breast
  • Large chunk of ginger, minced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, diced finely
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 large bunch of coriander
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 drizzle olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 180. Slice the chicken breasts across the grain into even-width slices and add to a large bowl. Add the ginger and garlic before adding the juice and zest one orange, coriander, sweet chilli, rice wine vinegar, soy and fish sauce. Stir, and marinate for 10 minutes. Fry off in olive oil for 1-2 minutes on each side until both sides are browned. Move into a baking tray and cook in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the middle of the biggest chunk is cooked through.

Repour the juice, ginger and garlic mix over when serving. If you want it hotter add some sphincter burner. Garnish with any leftover coriander.

Serves 5-6.

Pairs nicely with a fresh spicy salsa. Check out chargrills fo mo!
