This recipe was taken from Rins Cook Book - you should subscribe to her channel! The recipe for her Thai BBQ chicken is here. Really good Thai recipes. 

I added the onion, ginger and chili powder to her recipe - but if you want to omit those and follow hers, it is still awesome! My husband actually did everything on the BBQ - our BBQ doesn't get that hot to reach 190 C on the upper rack, so he baked it for a bit longer than 20 minutes.
