Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill or pan-fry the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
