Slimmers' Thai Pandan Chicken

"My family adores the traditional pandan chicken - but it is deep fried. I wanted to created a grilled version that was safe and lighter, and here is what I came up with. It's safe for the BBQ and cuts out most of the fat! Great success!"

directions

  • Mix marinade ingredients together in a blender. Put in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
  • Cut each thigh in 2, then add to boiling marinade. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or so.
  • Turn off the heat and let the chicken cool in the marinade. It can be covered and kept in the fridge overnight at this point.
  • When cooled, wrap the chicken pieces in the pandan leaves and secure with a toothpick. I found that I need approx 2 leaves per piece.
  • Fire up the grill, and place your parcels on the heat. Just enough to char the leaves and reheat the chicken.
