Peanut Lemongrass Chicken

 Peanut Lemongrass Chicken

7-8 skinless chicken thighs
¾ cup fish sauce dressing (recipe below)
¼ cup peanut butter
4-5 garlic cloves (grated)
1 lemongrass stalk (grated or chopped)
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
juice from ½ lime

FISH SAUCE DRESSING: (This will last you a while.)

1 Cup Fish Sauce
1 1/4 Cup Vinegar
1 Cup Water
2 Cups Sugar

Put everything together and stir until sugar dissolves. I mix this in a liquid measuring cup with a spout and then just pour into an empty glass bottle.

CHICKEN:

1) whisk all ingredients together and add to chicken. Allow time to marinate if you can.

2) Grill medium high for 5-7 minutes then reduce heat to medium for another 20-25 minutes.

SCALLION OIL (to drizzle on top):

1-2 stalks of chopped scallions
2-3 tbsp olive oil/oil

Bring oil to a boil in a small sauce pan, add scallions and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.

You can serve this with a rice salad: rice, greens, fresh slaw, fish sauce dressing and crushed peanuts. Or stir fry some rice noodles with garlic and scallions. Whatever you eat this with make sure you don't leave out cilantro, peanuts and fish sauce dressing.
