Ingredients

3 servings

1 lemongrass (white part only)
12 oz (350g) skin-on chicken thighs (bones removed)
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
3 dashes ground black pepper
1/8 tsp 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 10-15 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.
