6 cloves garlic (, minced)

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tsp finely chopped red chili (optional but recommended)

3 tbsp fish sauce

2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (, sherry or sake, Japanese cooking wine, Note 4)

1 tsp sesame oil (optional)

3 tbsp brown sugar or palm sugar

Hướng dẫn

Place Marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Massage to mix.

Add the chicken into the ziplock bag and massage to spread the marinade over all the chicken. Marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours).

Remove chicken from the Marinade and discard the Marinade (unless baking in the oven - refer Note 3).

Heat the outdoor grill on medium high. Or heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat on the stove.

Cook the chicken until golden brown - around 3 minutes each side.

Rest for a few minutes before serving with lime wedges on the side, and garnished with fresh chilies and cilantro, if using.
