Đùi gà nướng cay is grilled spicy chicken thighs, a dish the author’s mom suggested cooking for the whole family. The sweetness of the chicken goes with the chili powder in the marinade. You can eat it as a snack or with boiled rice. Plan ahead: the chicken marinates in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours. Ingredients For the chicken 3–4 chicken thighs 1 teaspoon salt A little sesame oil 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon honey 1–2 teaspoons chili powder, depending on your taste To serve Cucumber, tomatoes, carrot and salad Chili sauce or soya sauce How to make đùi gà nướng cay 1. Clean and boil the chicken Clean the chicken thighs carefully. Peel off the skin or leave it on, depending on your taste. Use a knife to cut a cross gently into each thigh so it absorbs the spices quickly. Put the thighs in a pot, add cold water and boil until they are nearly cooked. This is an important step. 2. Marinate Put the boiled thighs on a plate and use paper napkins to soak up all the water. Marinate them with 1 teaspoon salt, a little sesame oil, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey and 1–2 teaspoons chili powder. Use your hands to spread the spices all over the thighs. Cover with a plastic bag and leave in the fridge for 4 to 5 hours. 3. Grill Grill the thighs at 180 degrees for 10–15 minutes. Every so often, brush the sauce left from the marinade over the chicken so the skin doesn’t dry out. 4. Serve Arrange cucumber, tomatoes, salad and carrot around the plate. Eat the chicken with chili sauce or soya sauce, or as a main dish with boiled rice and hot soup. Share:
