Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Optional: chili flakes
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey or brown sugar, vegetable oil, lime juice, chili flakes (if desired), salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken to the marinade and ensure it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best results).
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of vegetable oil. Add marinated chicken (reserve marinade) and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Pour in the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking to enhance flavor while ensuring food safety.
  5. Once cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F), transfer chicken to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving with rice or pickled vegetables.
