About This Dish
Lemongrass grilled chicken gets its fragrance from crushed fresh lemongrass, garlic, coriander root and a savory marinade.
Prepare all ingredients before you start. Taste and adjust seasoning as you cook, using fresh produce and safe cooking temperatures for meat and seafood.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bruise lemongrass, chop garlic and coriander root, then pound them into a coarse aromatic paste.
- Stir the paste with fish sauce, soy sauce, a touch of sugar and oil.
- Rub marinade all over chicken pieces and refrigerate covered for several hours.
- Bring chicken out briefly while preheating the grill to medium heat.
- Grill chicken skin-side down first, turning as needed so the outside browns without burning.
- Continue until the thickest part reaches a safe internal temperature of 74°C / 165°F.
- Rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then scatter fresh herbs over the top.
- Serve with sticky rice and a lime-chili dipping sauce.
Chef’s Cooking Tips
Crushed lemongrass gives better fragrance than large unbruised pieces. Use a thermometer for safe, juicy chicken.
