PING GAI CHICKEN

Method

PING GAI CHICKEN

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, finely chopped lemongrass, fish sauce, brown sugar, turmeric powder, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, skin side up. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
