Always one to offer credit where credit is due some weeks ago I came across fussfreecooking.com, a great site for really easy and tasty recipes authored by Emily in Australia. She has a love of easy food and her 5 ingredient garlic sriracha grilled chicken recipe provided the inspiration of this dish. Emily's version is great and you should absolutely try it, I go back to it regularly.

For a little alternative I played with the basics to give it a slightly different flavour with the addition of coriander without loosing the garlic chilli basics of Emily's original dish. Have a go, let me know and I am always keen to hear suggestions on how to improve it and your thoughts on the results you got - and a big thank you to Emily for the inspiration.

Easy Grilled Garlic Chilli Chicken

Preparation: 10 mins + waiting time | Cooking Time: 25-30 mins | Serves: 4 adults

Ingredients

600-700g chicken thighs, boneless (~6-8 thighs)
3 tbsp tomato passata (or 2 tbs tomato paste)
2 tbsp kepac manis (sweet soy sauce)
3 tbsp garlic chilli sauce
2 tbsp coriander, chopped (keep a little to garnish)
1 lemon cut in wedges for serving
salt & pepper to season

Method

In a mixing bowl add passata, kecap manis, garlic chilli and coriander and combine.
Add chicken and mix to coat chicken pieces, season with a little pepper and salt, cover and let rest in the fridge for 30 mins (up to 2-3 hours is also good).
Preheat oven to 180°c
When oven is heated, arrange chicken on grilling rack and place in the middle of the oven and cook for approximately 25-30 mins.
Turn once after ~10-15 mins
To add a little colour turn over on high grill for 3-5 mins at the end.
Remove and arrange on serving dish with lemon wedges, sprinkle with retained coriander and serve immediately.

Tips & Alternatives

Add a little honey to the mix for a sweeter flavour (~1 tbs).
Serve with rice, potatoes, veggies or on it's own.
Use sriracha sauce and fresh garlic to replace the garlic chilli sauce.
The passata provides a slightly less rich tomato flavour, swapping with tomato paste enhances a richer tomato flavour.
If there is any leftover chop the chicken and add into a wrap with lettuce for lunch or a snack.
