Thai Grilled Chicken

Description
Similar to the barbecue chicken packed with real barbecue sauce, this oriental, bold poultry dish is made with real herbs and spices, enhanced with fish sauce, and grilled to red-hot perfection, as it is great with over rice or other main dishes and keeps a tangy aroma with the poultry and condiments.
