How to Make Lemongrass Chicken Marinade
- Using a pestle and mortar, crush 2 stalks lemongrass, 2 cloves garlic, 1 inch ginger, and 1-2 Thai chilies into a coarse paste. Alternatively, use a mini-food chopper or finely mince by hand.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemongrass paste with 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon grated lime zest.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Cook chicken (grill, bake, or pan-fry) according to your preferred method. Cooking time will vary depending on the method and thickness of the chicken pieces but will generally take around 5-15 minutes
