Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Tomyam paste

- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until you have a well-combined, smooth marinade.
- Add 700-800g of chicken pieces (such as thighs, drumsticks, or breasts) to the bowl, ensuring each piece is completely coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. For optimal flavor infusion, marinate for 2-4 hours, or even overnight.

Notes
This marinade is excellent for chicken thighs, wings, or breasts. For best results, marinate chicken for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer the marinating time, the deeper the flavor. This marinade also works wonderfully with shrimp or firm fish. When cooking, ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
