This lemongrass chicken is marinated, then grilled until juicy and tender. Garnish with rice paper, lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, mint, and ground peanuts.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs, or more to taste, pounded to an even thickness
Directions
Step 1
Mix together canola oil, lemongrass, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fish sauce in a glass bowl until sugar is dissolved; add chicken and turn to coat in marinade.
Step 2
Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 4
Remove chicken thighs from marinade; shake to remove excess. Discard remaining marinade.
Step 5
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
