Prepare the marinade by combining turmeric, garlic, lemongrass, coriander, soy sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar, black pepper, coconut milk, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add the chicken to the marinade and coat it thoroughly; let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess; reserve the marinade for basting.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade, until cooked through and charred.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C).

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro and chili flakes before serving.
