Directions
Caramelized Lemongrass Chicken Thighs, This is a recipe I came across in a cookbook I had had for some time, and finally decided to make It was made very clear to me that this was a recipe which I had better make again, as it went over VERY well This also works with pieces of a whole chicken, but the thighs are just the right size and shape to work well Prep time includes marinating time (in a pinch you can marinate for about 15 minutes and go) , Incredible recipe Chris My dh & I both loved this spicy dish I marinaded a whole chicken, (which I cut up and skinned )for 9 hours It was delicious served with steamed jasmine rice I loved that it was quick and easy to make I will be making this often The chicken was moist and tender and beautifully caramelized Thank you so much for sharing this treasure 🙂
