Steps:
- Chicken:
- Combine garlic, ginger, citrus juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar in a medium bowl. Place chicken halves in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal bag, pressing out any air. Chill at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Place rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season lightly with salt.
- Roast chicken on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until deep brown and cooked through, 30-40 minutes.
- Dipping sauce and assembly:
- Bruise lemongrass stalk by lightly crushing with a rolling pin. Bring lemongrass and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and let sit until very fragrant, 8-10 minutes; strain lemongrass infusion into a large measuring glass.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Toast shallots, scallions, chile, and garlic, tossing occasionally, until dark brown in spots, 8-10 minutes. Let cool. Remove skins from garlic and coarsely chop garlic with shallots, scallions, and chile.
- Add garlic, shallots, scallions, chile, and ginger to lemongrass infusion. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
- Using a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from pomelo; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut along sides of membranes to release segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl; discard. Tear segments into large pieces. Mix into dipping sauce.

LEMON MARINADE (CHICKEN)
Another good recipe from local news chef, Chef Walter. A nice change from the usual lemon pepper marinade on store shelves. This recipe is enough for 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Prep time is marinade time. Note: feel free to cut back or eliminate the salt in this marinade. Low-sodium soy sauce also works well for this. (Thanks for the tip, Nif!)

Steps:
- Mix everything together well. Pour into a shallow dish or large zip top bag.
- Add chicken. If using a dish, cover. Zip the bag if using a bag. Stash in the refrigerator for at least 2 - 3 hours, turning occasionally.
- Drain off the marinade and grill, or bake at 325 F for about an hour in a greased baking dish.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh chicken, preferably organic or free-range, and select a good quality soy sauce and citrus fruit.
- Don't overcrowd the chicken in the marinade: Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, but don't overcrowd the chicken in the container. This will prevent the chicken from marinating properly.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you have time, marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're grilling the chicken, baste it with the marinade every few minutes to keep it moist.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, noodles, vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Soy sauce and citrus marinated chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the chicken with a flavorful blend of salty, sweet, and tangy flavors. The chicken can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried, and it can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a dinner party, soy sauce and citrus marinated chicken is a great option.
