Preparation

Marinade Preparation

1. Prepare Lemongrass

Trim the lemongrass stalks and remove the tough outer layers. Chop the tender part into small pieces.

2. Blend Marinade Ingredients

In a blender, combine the chopped lemongrass, garlic cloves (peeled), ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Marinating Chicken

3. Marinate Chicken

Place the boneless chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling Chicken

4. Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. Grill Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

6. Rest Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
