A flavorful and aromatic grilled chicken recipe infused with lemongrass and chili, perfect for a vibrant meal.
Prepare the marinade by combining the lemongrass, lime zest, garlic, shallots, red chili, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl.
Crush the lemongrass slightly to release its aromatic oils before adding to the marinade.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and make small incisions to help the marinade penetrate.
Ensure the chicken pieces are of uniform size for even cooking.
Combine the chicken with the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Turn the chicken occasionally while marinating to ensure even flavor distribution.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Serve the grilled chicken on a platter with a side of rice or salad, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
