Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  4. 4

    Chop the Cilantro

    While the chicken is grilling, finely chop the fresh cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
