GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMONGRASS AND CHILI
You can use this simple marinade on Chicken, Beef, Pork, Prawns, Scallops, Squid, Fish Fillets and Vegetables. To prepare the lemongrass, trim and discard the roots. Use a vegetable peeler to whittle the stalks into thin partial slices. I used half freshly whittled lemongrass and half grated lemon grass. I taste the recipe before I placed the meat in and it's so yummy that I would also use it as a dipping sauce.

MARINADE: GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMONGRASS & CHILLI
We were on holidays at Surfers Paradise in Queensland Australia. We were out at different restaurants every night. One night we tried Vietnamese. My husband ordered 'Grilled Chicken with lemongrass & Chilli' (Ga nuong xa ot). It was quite a surprise when I sampled his chicken, it was mouth-watering. When we got back home I did some research and attempted to make it. Although I didn't find the exact recipe this version is still yummy. I used chicken thigh fillets instead of breast fillets because the meat is juicer and less fibrous (the restaurant served their dish using thighs). They also used the marinade on Beef, Pork, Prawns, Scallops, Squid, Fish Fillets and Vegetables. To prepare the lemongrass, trim and discard the roots. Use a vegetable peeler to whittle the stalks into thin partial slices. I used half freshly whittled lemongrass and half grated lemon grass. I taste the recipe before I placed the meat in and it's so yummy that I would also use it as a dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemongrass and chili peppers will give your marinade the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can use dried lemongrass, but be sure to soak it in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Don't over-marinate your chicken: Over-marinating can make your chicken tough. Marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
- Cook your chicken over medium heat: Cooking your chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, the outside of the chicken will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Baste your chicken while it cooks: Basting your chicken with the marinade will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste your chicken every few minutes, especially if you are cooking it over a grill.
Conclusion:
This marinade is a great way to add flavor to your grilled chicken. The lemongrass and chili peppers give the chicken a slightly spicy, citrusy flavor that is perfect for summer cookouts. You can also use this marinade on other types of meat, such as pork or fish.
