Grilled Thai Chicken Recipe

Screenshot 2015-06-08 13.59.17Ready for a great barbecue marinade for the summer? Jeanette from Jeanette’s Healthy Living shares this recipe, which is good for both chicken and fish. Both are best marinated overnight, so try to plan ahead; otherwise, if you marinate it in the morning, you’ll be good to go. One trick Jeanette uses when she grills chicken or fish is to place the chicken or fish on a baking tray lined with a piece of lightly oiled foil. She slides the whole thing on to the grill – this makes it so much easier to turn the pieces of chicken or fish and there’s no grill scraping in involved. This recipe serves four and can be doubled.
