Description
A cozy family favorite featuring tender chicken marinated in vibrant lemongrass, garlic, and ginger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 stalks of lemongrass, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the finely chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey (or sugar), lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken to the bowl, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Oil the Grill/Skillet: Brush the grill or skillet with a light layer of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Chicken: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If baking, transfer the marinated chicken to a baking sheet and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve & Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with rice or grilled veggies.
Notes
Leftover marinated chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cooked chicken can last for 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container.
