 Ingredients List

  • One 4-lb whole chicken, spatchcocked and thoroughly pricked with a fork
  • 4 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1½ teaspoons whole white peppercorns
  • 2 cilantro roots or ¼ cup of finely-chopped cilantro stems

  • ¼ cup palm or brown sugar, packed

 Directions

1. In a food processor, blend everything but the chicken together to form a paste.
2. Thoroughly rub the chicken with the marinade, going underneath the skin where possible.
3. Let the chicken marinate in a covered bowl, chilled, for 5-6 hours to overnight.
4. Grill on low coals until the skin is charred and the thighs release clear juices when punctured.
5. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving.
6. Serve with steamed sticky rice and Thai sweet chilli sauce or Thai dried chilli sauce (or mix the two together using 1:1 ratio).
