Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 400 grams
• Lemongrass - 3 stalks, finely minced
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, chili powder (if using), and lime juice to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Discard any leftover marinade.

6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled chicken garnished with fresh coriander and enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad.
