Lemongrass Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• •1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• •2 stalks of fresh lemongrass, finely chopped
• •3 cloves of garlic, minced
• •1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• •2 tbsp soy sauce
• •1 tbsp fish sauce
• •1 tbsp brown sugar
• •2 tbsp vegetable oil
• •1 tsp black pepper
• •Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped lemongrass, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and black pepper until combined.

3. 3

   Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

4. 4

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C).

7. 7

   Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
