- 1 medium shallot, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Chili Garlic sauce
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
- 500 grams chicken tenders
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, minced
- 1 cup cucumber, seedless preferred
- 1 green Bird's Eye Chili, or Jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, or mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
- salt, to taste
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil, add chicken. Cover and chill at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours.
Stir pineapple, cucumber, chili or jalapeno, cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a small bowl to blend, season relish to taste with salt and more lime juice if desired. Set aside.
Arrange a rack 4" from heat; preheat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Remove chicken from marinade and arrange in a single layer, spacing apart, on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt to your liking. Broil until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a platter and serve with reserved relish.
The chicken tenders (also called fillets) would cost about 36 Baht/500 grams. For 4 servings, this is about 27 cents per serving.
