Laotian grilled chicken called ping gai is a lovely recipe to represent the flavors of Lao.  It doesn’t take long at all to whip up the marinade.  You should let it develop the flavors with the chicken for a minimum of two hours, but overnight is best if you have the time.  Of course serve it along side some sticky rice, and a green papaya salad, for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
