LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix chicken, fish sauce, and honey together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add red bell peppers, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic; cook until red bell pepper strips tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken mixture; saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
• Stir green onions, chicken broth, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the wok. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breast across the grain on the diagonal into 1/8-inch strips.
• Cut these strips into 2-inch pieces.
• Combine the chicken, honey, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Trim the green leaves and root end off the lemongrass stalk and strip off the outside leaves.
• What remains will be a greenish crea m-colored core 4 to 5 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Mince the core finely: You'll need about 2 tablespoons.
• Just before serving, heat a wok (preferably nonstick) over high heat and swirl in the oil.
• Add the garlic and lemongrass and stir-fry until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry until the pieces turn white, about 1 minute. Move the chicken to the sides of the wok and add the o nion to the center.
• Stir-fry until the onion loses its rawness, about 1 minute. Mix the chicken back in the center of the wok, add the remaining fish sauce, continue stir-frying until the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Correct the seasoning, adding honey or fish sauce to taste. The dish should be a little sweet and salty.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 240°C Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
• Mix half the lemongrass stalks, garlic cloves, ginger, salt and pepper (and any other herbs you want to use) in a food processor.
• Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Rub the lemongrass mixture well all over the chicken. Leave to sit for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Just before roasting, stuff the rest of the lemongrass stalks into the chicken (like turkey stuffing).
• Pour the water into the roasting pan (not over the chicken).
• Cover the chicken and place in the oven. Lower the heat to around 200°C.
• Slowly roast the chicken for around 1.5 - 2 hours, checking every thirty minutes or so to make sure it doesn't burn. If the pan dries out, add enough water to cover the bottom.
• While checking on it, use a ladle to pour the juices from the bottom of the pan over the chicken. This gives it more flavour and adds to that nice crispness of the skin.
• When cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and allow to sit for a few minutes. Serve whole or chopped.

LEMONGRASS WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove 2 Tbsp of lemongrass and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the remaining lemongrass, shallot, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce, chili flakes and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat, tucking some marinade underneath the skin. Pour any excess marinade into the bird cavity. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Bring the chicken to room temperature before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Put the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake for 40 minutes. Turn the bird over and roast until the chicken is cooked and nicely browned, about 20 to 30 minutes more. About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, combine the remaining 2 Tbsp lemongrass with the cilantro and oil. Brush the mixture on the bird, then continue to roast until it is done and the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with Soy-Lime Dipping Sauce and fried or steamed rice. (The pan juices are delicious on the rice).
• Sauce:.
• Place the garlic, chilies and sugar in a mortar and pound into a paste. (You can also chop the garlic and chilies by hand.) Transfer to a small bowl and add the soy sauce, lime juice and water. Stir until well blended. This sauce will keep up to 3 weeks if stored in the refrigerator in a tight-lidded jar.
