Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Skewers.
Step 1
Begin by using a mortar and pestle to create a fragrant paste by pounding together minced shallot, chopped lemongrass, chopped chile pepper, chopped garlic, and grated ginger until the mixture is coarse.
Step 2
Next, blend in fish sauce, vegetable oil, white sugar, and oyster sauce, stirring until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 3
Take your chicken strips and place them in a large resealable plastic bag, then add the aromatic paste.
Step 4
Toss the chicken to ensure it is thoroughly coated, seal the bag, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5
When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 6
Skewer the marinated chicken strips, spacing them evenly for optimal grilling.
Step 7
Grill the skewers for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, watching for that perfect golden brown color and ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as you serve these delicious skewers, a true delight for any gathering.
