THAI GINGER CHICKEN (GAI PAD KING)

My family loved ordering this dish at our local Thai restaurant, but then they closed down for some unknown reason (they were always busy). So I decided to recreate this traditional dish at home. My husband says it's just like the restaurant...maybe even better? Please note that some people like to eat the ginger, while others don't but like the flavor it gives off. You can easily double this recipe to serve a larger group...plus it makes great leftovers.

Steps:

Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and chicken; cook for 2 minutes. Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ginger, red pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are nearly tender, about 3 minutes. Dissolve the chile paste in the chicken broth, then add to the chicken mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper; sprinkle with cilantro leaves to garnish. Serve with the hot rice.

Steps:

Cut the chicken into serving pieces as follows: Separate main wing bones from the second wing bones; cut the breast halves from the carcass and cut them, with the skin, into two-inch cubes; cut each thigh in half across the bone to make four pieces; remove the legs, chop off and discard the leg end bones.
Combine the coriander, lemon juice, peppercorns and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken pieces and blend well with the spice mixture. Let stand at least one hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat a charcoal grill for barbecuing. Add the chicken pieces and cook, turning often, until done. The boneless pieces will cook in about 10 minutes or less. The pieces with bone in will cook in about 20 minutes or longer.
