  • Chef John, Merry Christmas to you and Michelle. This is not about Ping Gai Chicken, but last night I went to a Chanukah party. I brought an old standby, but one younger people don't know anything about. I made some chopped herring. It consisted of two jars of herring in wine sauce, the kind that Whole Foods carries, but Vita or some other brand will work. The herring comes with onions which I chopped and mixed in my old Osterizer which began to smoke. I emptied it and did rest by hand. I added some mayonnaise which I did not need. I added the remains of a box of egg matzah left over from Passover which I should have softened first in water. I also added three hard boiled eggs to the herring and pickled onion mixture, with a touch of sugar. I didn't add any other spices or seasonings. But then I thought of Chef John, what would he do? He'd add some cayenne which is what I proceeded to do! Later I added some paprika on the top for some color, but it didn't help. I used some dry parsley flakes, fresh would have been better. Chopped herring is not a dish that attracts the eye. But it was tasty. Several people either thanked me for bringing a dish different from the usual fare or complimented me. Some asked what's the bite to this chopped herring, did you add horseradish? I answered cayenne pepper and credited you Chef John as the inspiration. The next time I'd add a bit less, only because for some people it would be too hot. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Very good. My ex was from Laos. The Laos version of Larb is stunning. Much better than the Thai version

  • I used to enjoy your videos, but after a long break I've come back and discovered that you've developed some weird, perky, clipped speaking pattern that you never had before. Now I might be the only person who finds it really irritating, but please don't do it anymore. If I'm the only one bothered, I'll just stop watching. 🙂

  • Being a bit of a b today. I am Thai and I guess we share a lot of similarities with Laos … in any case the wording order is wrong. It should be named Gai Ping. Adjective usually comes after the noun, not before like English. And Gai = chicken. Ping = grill. Ping Gai chicken is Grill chicken chicken. I am just saying.

  • I thought he said pink eye, and pink eye translates to a wild sordid weekend at the strip club ?

  • It needs maybe bean sprouts or onions like a gyros only it's oriental. And I'd add ginger next time and use chicken breasts instead of thighs that look good until you take them out of the package and see the fat hiding beneath the surface. You've better luck with a breast. At least, that's what the Amazons say.

  • Chicken skin for is Lao-speaking people in Laos and northeastern Thailand is the best thing god had ever given to us. I'm a central Thai who spent many years in the northeast and trust me you judge good grilled chicken from the skin! I'm thankful to Chef John for this recipe as I hold ping kai close to my heart. You serve with sticky rice and a basket of fresh veggies (cucumbers or some salads) you can't go wrong with it.

  • Reading the comments I notice the difference between Vietnamese and Loatian people.

    Loatian people: "Wow, thanks for trying to represent our food!"

    Vietnamese people: "How dare you! That's not even close!"

  • Chef John, I made this pretty much exactly as you did, with one change. I gave the dipping sauce a shot of bottled habanero sauce….and then made a Chinese rice dish with sesame oil, white rice, carrots, frozen peas, garlic, thinly sliced cabbage, and 3 eggs scrambled in. Let me tell you, it was top notch restaurant quality. Thanks for being a good teacher.

  • I had a loatian family cook me dinner one night. They made these half moon pan fried pork things with a mustard seed sauce. If you can find out how to make them please do a video.

  • I wonder what it it's like slow cooked on a low heat, covered bbq? Could you wait that long?

  • Chef John, you are a complete and utter genius. I found a way to use up the rest of my oyster sauce and soy sauce together for this recipe and its making me hecka excited while the chicken is marinating. Thank you Chef John!!
