Easy Grilled Chicken Recipe •Thai Grilled Chicken with Spicy Tamarind Sauce|ThaiChef Food
Serious Mealtimes / Andrew Janjigian
I grew up eating sinigang a hearty Filipino stew known for its signature sour broth. That specific flavor profile inspired this recipe: chicken thighs marinated in a bold blend of onion tomato garlic ginger fish sauce chili and tamarind then cooked on a grill. The result is succulent chicken with crispy skin juicy interior and a sour umami kick.
To make an ultra-powerful marinade to give the chicken deep flavor I use scallions onion and onion powder for a bold allium punch then tomato paste which adds a savory punch without the excess liquid that chopped fresh tomatoes would. As with the onion I also add garlic and ginger both raw and powdered and a spicy fish sauce to liven everything up with salt. Then I add the chili component: Sinigang typically uses siling mahaba a Philippine pepper also called green finger chile which has a moderate heat and can be found in Filipino or Asian grocery stores. If you can’t find siling mahaba a jalapeño pepper works just as well.
