4 6-inch-long pieces lemongrass, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
10 garlic cloves
5 shallots, quartered
4 serrano chilies, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)*
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 2 1/2-pound chicken, cut in half, backbone removed
