I can't wait to try this! Here is a little tip to help prevent your meat from sticking to the grill. Cut a potato in half and rub it over your heated grill bars. The starch from the potato will bind to grill and make it a nice slippery non-stick surface naturally 🙂

Hello from France, we do have lots of vietnamese restaurants and rhey serve this kind of chicken very often. Thank you Pailin for all your videos, you explain so well. Please keep on going.

I'm making it today! Grill lemongrass pork or chicken brings back a lot of good memories for me and wife. We often frequent a Vietnamese restaurant near our campus (U of WIndsor) some 30+ years ago, just for the grill protein with cold noodles. Thanks Pailin! I always enjoy your video. Your cheerful demeanor always cheer me up after watching your excellently produced videos.

It’s really amazing how you use mortar and pestle to prepare the ingredients.Thanks Pailin for sharing this yummy chicken recipe.

Vietnamese here (Saigon to be exact). If boneless chicken thigh was more accessible in Vietnam, this would be authentic. If I can have boneless chicken thigh, I would store them like Pai suggest. The flavour is spot on. Vietnamese would marinade minced lemon grass with also most everything: pork, beef, chicken, fish, even tofu. Grill, Stir fry, Pan Fry, Stew. This chicken dish can be found at some higher end banh mi seller, not our everyday stuff. Again, I wish I could find boneless chicken thigh more easily so I can create this dish 😭

The closest thing I managed to find is skin-on chicken thigh (only one central bone is left) so you can easily debone them and you have a whole piece to make chicken steak. I would buy like 4 packs like that, debone them myself, just two mins per thigh, and I have like a bunch of boneless skinon chicken thighs for curry, katsu, karaage, whatever you can think of. In some supermarkets that carries the “Le boucher” brand, sometines you can find boneless chicken quarters.

I made this tonight on my grill. It came out sooooo good. I marinated the chicken overnight.I should have taken a picture. I love getting this out and now can make it at home!

Thanks Pailin, your presentation is always clear and precise.

Should have chili in paste as well. Garlic + chili + Lemon grass.. Can have honey +oyster sauce+ water , mix well for brushing on top when grilling. That will provide shiny and inviting aroma for the whole neighbor to come !!!!

Made this the other night. Super easy and delicious! There were no leftovers! I love this channel!

Thanks so much Pailin! Your recipes are always great & authentic!

You are absolutely a delight to watch, and the recipes are fabulous. Sometimes when I wake up in the night I watch your show for a while and then make a fab meal for breakfast with Thai influence. Thank you graciously.

Totally authentic! It's more of a street food over charcoal grill thing in Vietnam, but still definitely legit the way it's served over here. It's also a close cousin to gà xào sả ớt - basically the same ingredients but it's stir fried in chunks and becomes a much more homey, saucy, over-rice dish. Thanks so much for another Viet dish, Pai! :)

But I haven't tried this dish. Gà xào sả ớt, yes. Gà nướng sả, no. I think it's a dish popular somewhere outside of the southern Việt Nam (which is where I live), maybe.

My mom makes a similar dish, she uses bone in thighs and sometimes fry it on the stove. Total comfort food 🤗

Love this recipe! I have eaten a lot in vietnamese restaurants, and I feel like this recipe has a much freshier taste!

I make a version of this on a regular basis for banh mi and salads. It never gets old! I add a shallot to the marinade.

Pai you must be a psychic, I haven’t had lemongrass chicken in ages and was thinking about it so much lately!! Some Vietnamese restaurants in Hawaii made it as a stir fry, so it had this delicious sauce that was soooo perfect with rice. I’ll try this recipe both ways, it looks too delicious to try only once! 🍽

Best lemongrass chicken recipe!!!! I made it yesterday and everyone loved it!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe 😊

Beautiful dish!!! The whole family loved it!

How our Vietnamese household makes it is : Lemongrass Oyster Sauce Fish Sauce Sesame Oil Ketchup Sugar/and or Honey ABC Sauce (optional, helps with colour) Salt (not too much as we have lots of salty elements) Black Pepper Garlic (optional) Marinate for a minimum of an hour - whenever you want Grill, Cast Iron Pan, Air Fry or the Oven (slowest method) This is a great marinade to do with Chicken Wings as well for family barbecues. Typically eaten with Vermicelli, veggies and Vietnamese fish sauce .

You can cook any dish you want. You are such a versatile chef.👍👍👍

Even if you are eating it with rice, I like pairing it with banh mi toppings, cilantro, cucumber, do chua, chili pepper slices, and I use lettuce wraps instead of rice to reduce the carbs.

Hahaha you are totally adorable and thank you for Thai cooking lessens. Thai living in Texas here 🙌🏼

Chicken looks amazing, will definitely try making it. But something else stood out. Your hair is so luscious, voluminous and smooth! 😍

Absolutely authentic chicken lemongrass recipe!!It looks easy and savoury dish.. Well done Pallins and keep it up..

Pai, a quick tip for making vietnamese "nuoc mam" next time, skip the water and add in some coconut water instead! Also, it takes 2 seconds to whip up "mo hanh" which is just chopped up scallion (and a bit of garlic), sauteed in lard or oil with some salt. Spoon this on top of the chicken and you'll essentially get a version of our "com tam". Happy cooking! :)

Can't wait to make this tonight! My chicken has been marinating since yesterday heheh. I just dont have a grill though 😅 I love your mortar and pestle btw, its gorgeous! Thanks for linking it!

Pailin only words I can say Yummy 😋 the chicken very tasty with the marinade we both enjoyed our lunch with grilled chicken and the sauce. Thank you 😊

Thank you, I haven’t seen you for a while, I’m very happy to see you on the KZread again 😁

Great recipe, the flavours just leap off the screen ! I've seen some vietnamese restaurants drizzle a lemon grass type sauce on top of the chicken.

I love that you said it about chicken thighs. Especially with bone-in thighs, I never like recipes that have you roast them until they’re 165. They always taste a bit tough and it’s just not as good as thighs where the meat easily comes off the bone.

excellent and thank a bunch Paillin

I love your recipes, this one's so easy and it very much got me in the mood for grilling! Over charcoal! lol. I was also wondering, though, since i recently saw a video for and made Japanese "Karaage" Chicken, which is chicken thigh marinated in garlic and ginger etc. and then coated with potato or corn starch that is left to dry onto the chicken before it is -deep fried- to a lovely golden. I would think this lemongrass marinade would lend itself very well to the coating-and-frying treatment also, but the grilled chicken plate you showed at the end looks like something i want in front of me very soon lol. Thank you for your videos.

For us Vietnamese, we don’t actually make the lemongrass chicken as the Westerners would. I think it’s an adaptation of gà xào/kho xả ớt, a stir-fry version with lots of lemongrass bits and chillies. Its also like a basic, unnamed marinate for us if you do like Pai’s recipe, usually for pork chops/cutlets that goes super well with rice.

Loved this recipe

With that chicken on the rice with the Nuoc cham, that makes it close to what I know as Com Bi, which is usually pork but sometimes beef(which I think makes it Com Bo technically but not sure). Truly a great dish.

A warm hello from Switzerland! There are not that many Vietnamese restaurants over here. My Vietnamese mother-in-law makes something similar with thin sliced pork belly, but she adds some sesame seeds to the marinade. She serves it with salad, rice vermicellies, sliced cucumber, mint, basil and cilantro together with the sauce. I don't even know if it's a Vietnamese dish, maybe it's Viet-Lao hybrid cousine, because she was born in Laos by Vietnamese parents. Anyway, I like it a lot!

Look so good

Bahn mi sold this recipe. Thanks for the video. I have a chicken tip, for marinades. FDA says, "don't wash your chicken". I think it's because of splashing, idk. So I have to say this first I guess. Wash your chicken in a cup or two of white vinegar before you proceed with your planned recipe. I BBQ two to three times per week, rain or snow. Even just wash, dry rub, and a touch of oil makes an instant marinade. Good luck!

Yes, most food safety authorities advise against washing chicken. It's because washing won't kill dangerous bacteria like campylobacter, but instead the water droplets can spread the bacteria more than 50cm in every direction contaminating work surfaces, clothing, hands, other ingredients, utensils etc.
