A new go to for us is this from All Recipes. What's presented is my tweek of the AR recipe to our tastes. Tried a new tweek tonight in smoking the chicken to doneness rather than griddling on the Blackstone.

Ping Gai Chicken, Dip and Coconut Rice

Ingredients for 4 Large Portions Ping Gai Chicken:
2 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 10)
For the marinade:
1 to 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns, freshly and coarsely ground
1 very large bunch fresh cilantro, stems and leaves (about 1 cup packed)
note: instead of cilantro, you can use equal parts basil, parsley, and mint
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the dipping sauce: - DON'T SKIP THIS
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
juice from 1 lime
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Asian chili paste or sauce
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
2 to 3 tablespoons honey, or to taste


Coconut rice

* 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened coconut milk
* 1 cups water
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 pinch salt
* 1 cups uncooked jasmine rice

Toast rice in butter. Add coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender.

Top with cilantro or parsley and fried onion straws

I did over night in the fridge, but minimum of about 6 hours I'd say.

Big fan of smoking boneless chicken thighs. Adds great flavor and done in an hour or so. I usually season with southwestern flavors and turn them into tacos. Gonna have to try this for a change of pace.

I hate to be that guy, but gai is Thai for chicken. So writing ping gai chicken is redundant.

Damn that's a lot of fish sauce... We use it in a much more sparing manner

Yep, not my recipe. In fairness though, it's a Laotian dish… maybe the Laotians don't speak Thai.

Chicken was good (grilled on BGE) but the sauce and rice were outstanding

Glad you liked it!! We do this about once a month. It's great for a rotation.

For a little dessert slice up mango over that rice and drizzle with sweetened condensed milk. Obviously no fried onion straws with that…

I did it last night. We enjoyed it. The chicken was a little "one note" to me. The sauce livens it up a little bit, maybe I'll try to add some of that rice vinegar to the marinade next time.

Thanks for sharing the recipe.
