Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp agave
- 1.5 tsp chilli and garlic sauce or sambal oelek
- 2 tsp lime juice
- 125 ml water
To garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced finely
- 1.5 tbsp sesame seeds
Method
- Set up your Big Green Egg for an indirect cook at 200°C. Add your stainless steel grid.
- Add your chicken thighs and roast off, skin side down, to crisp up the skin. If you have the EGGspander system, then you might want to use a half-direct, half-indirect set-up.
- While the chicken is roasting, in a bowl, mix together the other non-garnish ingredients to make a baste.
- Baste your chicken and cook for 5 minutes before flipping and basting. Keep doing this until your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 80°C.
- Serve and garnish with the coriander, sesame seeds and chilli.
