Grilled Chicken in Lemongrass Marinade

4 servings

30 minutes

Grilled chicken in lemongrass marinade is a dish inspired by Chinese culinary traditions, where the freshness of ingredients meets depth of flavor. Lemongrass adds a bright citrus note to the marinade, complementing the tenderness of chicken fillet. Soy and fish sauces add umami, while sugar and garlic provide a balance of sweetness and spiciness. The marinated meat becomes juicy and aromatic, while grilling creates a crispy crust with a hint of smokiness. This dish is perfect for summer outdoor dinners and pairs well with rice or fresh vegetables.
