This is the second week of back-to-school and my life has gone back to the same old routine again. Sending my son to school, shopping at the market, developing new recipes (click for dinner ideas!) for Rasa Malaysia as well as making dinner for my family.
For a few months now, little G has turned into an absolute carnivore who loves to eat meat. His favorite is chicken, duck and beef. But mostly, he wants to have chicken every day, baked chicken such as ginger garlic baked chicken, Asian BBQ chicken wings, or slow-cooker honey sesame chicken wings.
While they are all great recipes but I am getting bored with the same old dishes, that’s why I shake things up a bit with this new Thai Baked Chicken Drumsticks recipe, which is absolutely delicious and a completely new flavor structure (a good way to introduce Thai cuisine to little G)! He loves the moist, juicy, aromatic chicken and gave me two thumbs up after he had the first bite.
This recipe is an adaptation from the ever famous Gai Yang (Thai grilled chicken) which you can find all over Thailand or in Thai restaurants here in the US.
I simplified the recipe, made it with easy-to-get ingredients that you can find at regular stores. The taste? It’s OMG GOOD! Trust me.

Tried this and loved them, super easy and YUMMY! The fragrance of cilantro was superb!
I cheated with garlic power, imagine will be much better with fresh garlic. I marinated overnight though
Rasa Malaysia
Lay Been – so great you tried this recipe, next time try with garlic. :)
Kitchen girl
I’m trying this recipe soon! The charred skin of the chicken looks like it’s been grilled. My oven never gives me the charred look. Any special tips?
Rasa Malaysia
Broil it for 1 minute. :)

Tried it and loved it! Can I make this with a cut of pork? Concerned with having enough fat to brown up. If yes, which? Thank you Bee!
JulieK
Too much fish sauce for my taste! It tasted so fishy!
Rasa Malaysia
Fish sauce is an acquired taste, you can cut down if you don’t like it but Thai uses a lot of fish sauce in their recipes.
Lily
I want to make it now but have no fish sauce :-( anything I can use for substitute ?
Rasa Malaysia
Oyster sauce or soy sauce.
Robert

Can I BBQ the chicken?
Jolene Carrera
This sounds amazing! I don’t have coconut milk, any suggestions for a replacement? If not, then I’ll just go to my old stand by of your Ginger Garlic Chicken which is delicious!! Thanks!!
Rasa Malaysia
You can use milk but it won’t smell as aromatic.
Jolene Carrera
They turned out great! Another fave. I did end up going out and buying a really small can of the coconut milk. :)
Rasa Malaysia
That’s great. The coconut milk will be great.
Jolene Carrera
Going to make this tomorrow with a sub for coconut milk and use yogurt.
