Bahan-bahan

4 porsi

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice ((from 2 to 3 limes))
1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¾ teaspoon Garam Masala ((substitute curry powder if you can't find it))
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
1½ teaspoons fresh grated ginger ((see note))
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper ((or less if you don't like heat))
8 boneless, (skinless chicken thighs)
2 scallions, light and dark green parts only, (thinly sliced)

Langkah-langkah

In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the chicken and scallions. Set ¼ cup (60 ml) of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs. Be sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, then place the bag in the refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3 to 4 hours.
Preheat grill to high heat.
Grease the grill. (Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub the towels over the grates several times until glossy and coated.) Place the chicken on the grill; cover and cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, then top with the reserved marinade and sliced scallions.
