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
Instructions
- Use a Microplane to grate the lemongrass, or chop it finely.
- Marinate the chicken with lemongrass, honey, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) for 30 minutes.
- 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.
- Finish it off in the oven by broiling for 1 minute to char the surface. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
