Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Lemongrass Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine the oil, minced lemongrass, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, fish sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Coat each piece of chicken with the marinade, ensuring they are generously covered. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) about 10-15 minutes before grilling.
Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes without moving, then flip and grill for another 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, aim to marinate for 2 hours. Always check internal temperature to reach 165°F for safe consumption.
