Gai Yang, also known as Thai-style “Grilled Chicken”, has endless variations in flavour and preparation from region to region. This dish can be found not just in restaurants, but also on the streets as a popular snack, and in homes as everyone’s dinner pick! To take the flavours of this amazing Grilled Chicken recipe to the next level, we’ve used Boombay’s 100% natural Lime Leaf + Lemongrass Stir Fry Sauce as a marinade.
