Gai Yang

Gai Yang, also known as Thai Grilled Chicken, is a dish that brings the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine to the table. Marinated in a blend of lemongrass, garlic, cilantro, and fish sauce, the chicken is grilled to achieve a juicy and aromatic profile. This creates a dish that is tender and fragrant. Paired with sticky rice and a spicy dipping sauce, Gai Yang offers a delightful combination of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. It’s an excellent choice for those who appreciate bold and unique tastes.
