👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Slice the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into thinner, even pieces to ensure quick and uniform cooking.
2. Finely chop the white part of the lemongrass stalks, shallots, garlic cloves, and bird's eye chili.
3. In a bowl, combine the chopped aromatics with fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and lime juice to create the marinade.
4. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated; marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or ideally 2-4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
5. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
6. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the hot grill; cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful char marks.
7. Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices, then serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
