Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Cooking Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, sesame oil, ginger, Sriracha, garlic, lime juice, and lemongrass paste together in a bowl.
  2. Put chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over chicken, and marinate for 2 hours or overnight for an even better flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grate.
  4. Remove chicken thighs from marinade, discarding marinade.
