Ingredients

5 servings

1 tsp garlic (, minced)

1 tsp chilli (, finely chopped (or paste is fine), adjust quantity to taste (Note 2))
1 lemongrass (OR paste) (, white part only, finely chopped(Note 3))
1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
3/4 tsp tumeric powder
1/2 tsp curry powder ((any is fine))
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 1/2 tbsp fish sauce ((sub soy))
3/4 cup coconut milk ((full fat please!))
750 g - 1 kg / 1.5 - 2 lb chicken thigh fillets (, skinless and boneless (Note 4))
Oil for cooking
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp peanut butter, smooth
2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce

Steps

Mix marinade in a large bowl. Add chicken and mix. Cover with cling wrap and marinate in the fridge for 24 - 48 hours (can't skip marinating for this recipe).
Brush BBQ with oil, or heat 1 tbsp in a skillet (I used a skillet). Use Medium heat - or Medium Low if your stove/BBQ runs hot (otherwise marinade may burn). 
Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Cook the first side for around 5 minutes or until caramelised and golden. Turn then cook the other side for 4 minutes until caramelised.
BAKING: See Note 4.
Transfer chicken to serving plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander / chilli if desired, and serve with lime wedges and Sauce.
Place ingredients in a bowl and mix a bit. Microwave for 30 seconds, then mix until smooth. Bring to room temperature or serve warm (it thickens a bit when cooled).
