Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a food processor, combine lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken with sweet chili sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping.
