• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 ½ Tablespoons sliced fresh Ginger
• ¼ C sriracha sauce

Instructions:

1. Cut chicken into bite size pieces (to skewer) or leave whole and place them in a gallon zip lock bag or bowl.
2. Place the rest of the ingredients, except SambalOlek ( or red chili paste) in a blender, and blend until smooth. Stir in chili paste, to combine. Pour marinade over the chicken and marinate for 15 minutes or overnight.
3. Pre -heat the grill to med-high.
4. Skewer chicken ( or leave whole)
5. Pour the left over marinade into a small pot, bring to a simmer, and simmer on low for 5-10 mins, until thickened and reduced. You will use it to baste the chicken.
6. Place chicken on a hot, preheated, greased grill. Cover. Cook 5 minutes or longer until deep grill marks appear. Turnover, baste, cover. Once you’ve got a good sear on both sides, and both sides are basted, turn heat to low, or move to upper rack and continue cooking through.
