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.
