Easy Lemongrass Chicken
- 4 chicken quarters (or equivalent of thighs or breast)
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 1/4 cup purple onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 fresh red chili, minced (or up to 1/2 tsp. chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- Thinly slice the lemongrass and then chop it up as finely as you can (alternatively you can use a food processor or chopper for the mincing part). Do the same with the purple onion and mix both in a bowl to create the marinade.
- Add the chili and sauces and stir again. Finally, add the Carnation milk and sugar. Stir everything together until sugar is dissolved.
- Place chicken pieces in a flat baking pan. Pour the lemongrass concoction over, turning chicken to saturate. Turn pieces skin-side down and set in refrigerator to marinate at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn chicken pieces skin-side up and spoon a little more of the marinade from the pan over the surface of each piece. Set baking pan in the middle of your oven and bake 60-75 minutes, until chicken is golden-brown on the surface.
- Accompany with plenty of Thai jasmine rice on the side and ENJOY!
