Lemongrass Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lemongrass (white part only)
• 12 oz (350g) skin-on chicken thighs (bones removed)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 dashes ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• oil (for pan-frying)

Steps

1. 1

   Use a Microplane to grate the lemongrass, or chop it finely.

2. 2

   Marinate the chicken with lemongrass, honey, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) for 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat a little oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken skin-side down first, until the skin is nicely browned. Turn it over and pan-fry until the meat is browned and crispy. Ensure the chicken is completely cooked through.

4. 4

   Finish it off in the oven by broiling for 1 minute to char the surface. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
