Garnish

Method

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a mortar and pestle and pound until crushed together. Pour over the chicken thighs and marinate for at least an hour or up to 12 for more flavour. 

  • Heat a BBQ until it begins to smoke. Brush the grill with some oil then add the chicken and cook until caramelised and cooked through.

  • In a large bowl combine the slaw ingredients, using your hands gently scrunch the ingredients together to slightly break them down. Mix until all the vegetables are coated in the dressing.

  • Serve the slaw in a bowl topped with sliced chicken thighs garnished with extra peanuts and lime.
