Method
Marinade & Sauce
Mix all sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
Set aside for later use in marinating and as a finishing drizzle.
Thai Grilled Chicken
Combine garlic, sweet chili sauce, sour sauce (Golden Mountain), light soy sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, white pepper, ground coriander, palm sugar (or white sugar), Thai chili, tamarind sauce, cilantro, green onion, and red onion in a bowl to create the marinade and sauce.
Place the chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag or container, pour the sauce over them, and massage to coat evenly.
Marinate the chicken for at least 2–3 hours, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium‑high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve any remaining sauce) and grill the pieces until cooked through and nicely charred, about 5–7 minutes per side.
While the chicken grills, heat the reserved sauce in a small saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened.
Slice the grilled chicken, drizzle with the warm sauce, and garnish with additional cilantro and cucumber slices.
Serve the chicken with steamed rice or sticky rice.
