From curries to satay, the sweet, pungent pairing of Coriander & Cumin forms the base flavor of a variety of Thai dishes. So that’s where our new Thai BBQ Seasoning begins.
After the cumin & coriander are blended together, we slowly mix in lemongrass – the citrusy spice that has you dreaming of Thailand. Next, the essential savory elements of every Thai BBQ are added – garlic & pepper. We include both white and black pepper to enhance the bite and pungency of the blend.
The Thai BBQ Seasoning wouldn’t be complete without a spicy kick, and the aromatic essence of the grill, so we mix in smoked serrano chili powder. As the flavors fuse together with each stir, we finally sprinkle in a few more Thai spices to tickle the tongue.
The delectable sensation you experience with every taste of this Thai Grilled Chicken.
Create a simple Thai marinade by combining coconut sugar, fish sauce (or soy sauce or salt), and our Thai BBQ Seasoning.
The blend is best on grilled or roast chicken, like in this simple recipe for Thai Grill Chicken, but also try the seasoning this summer on grilled pork chops, steaks, and shrimp skewers.
