Thai Turmeric Chicken

Recipe or PRINT: www.recipetineats.com/souther...
Hailing from southern Thailand, Thai Tumeric Chicken (Gai Yang Khamin) is lip-smackingly delicious street food that's sweet, sticky and savoury. The marinade is unbelievably simple: garlic, fish sauce, oyster sauce, turmeric powder and sugar. The turmeric really makes it!
Street vendors grill this over smokey coals and use butterflied whole chicken. I bake it in the oven and use chicken thighs instead to make it Monday-night-friendly. This does not, however, compromise flavour - it is still ridiculously delicious! - Nagi x ❤️

Southern THAI TURMERIC CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
5 chicken thigh cutlets, skin on and bone in (around 2.5lb / 1.2kg)*
Marinade:

1 tsp white pepper, ground
1 tbsp ground turmeric
¼ cup brown sugar (or palm sugar)
DIRECTIONS
1) Combine Marinade ingredients in a bowl, add chicken and coat well.
2) Marinade overnight (3 hrs minimum).
3) Bake at 180C/350F (160C fan) for 40 min, then increase the temp to 200C/375F (180C) and bake for a further 10 min to caramelize the skin. Baste at the 30 min and 40 minute mark. OR cook on medium on the BBQ or stove for around 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through.

I've made this twice and absolutely yummy and easy to make! The only thing I've done differently is only using 1.5tbsp fish sauce and halved the sugar.

[@garyroger4217]

confusing bake for 40 or 50 min. then increase temp then glaze chicken ?

[@TeeBoyd88]

@garyroger4217 I made these tonight.
"Bake for 40 minutes, basting at the 30 minute and 40 minute mark using the tray juices to make it golden brown and sticky, and rotate the tray as needed for even colour.
Increase the oven temperature to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan-forced). Pop the chicken back in for a final 10 minutes to caramelise the skin."
