This was a total surprise. I selected this recipe thinking it was going to be fried chicken. We love anything fried but this recipe is not fried at all. Instead, it's steamed and grilled. I used the ingredients for the marinade and steamed without the coconut milk for 20 minutes. The chicken was already tasty by then. Instead of grilling, I pan sauteed without adding any extra fat or oil and the chicken came out succulent and full of flavor. I think grilling these will work perfectly too. Thank you Coasty for posting this recipe. Made for Asian forum's unrated Asian recipe tag.
