Ga Chien Gion

Ingredients - Serves 4

• Fresh cilantro - For garnish
• Lime wedges - For serving
• Vegetable oil - For frying
• Cornstarch - 1/2 cup
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Lemongrass - 2 stalks, minced
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Chicken thighs - 4, bone-in and skin-on

Let's Get Started

1. In a bowl, combine fish sauce, minced garlic, minced lemongrass, sugar, and black pepper to make the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and coat them with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
5. Carefully place the chicken thighs in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the fried chicken thighs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve the Ga Chien Gion hot with lime wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro.
8. Enjoy!
