How to Clean your BBQ

Method

1. For the chicken: Combine the turmeric, lemongrass, shallot, kaffir lime leaves, chilli flakes, white pepper, fish sauce and peanut oil in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs, cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
2. Heat the BBQ to a medium heat and place the chicken onto the hot grill. Leave it and do not move for 3 minutes.
3. Turn and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes. Continue to cook another 4 minutes turning occasionally until cooked through.
4. Make the salad dressing: Whisk together 1 Tbsp lime juice, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp garlic & chilli paste and 1 tsp fish sauce in a small bowl and reserve.
5. Prepare Thai mango salad: combine mango, 1 tsp chilli flakes, red onion, coriander, mint and sesame seeds in a bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine.
6. Serve chicken together with the Thai mango salad.
SMART TIP: This marinade is great with fish as well.
