Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 lbs chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces; 2 limes, cut into wedges; 2 stalks lemongrass; 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced; 6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped; 1 teaspoon palm sugar; ½ cup coconut milk; 2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce; 2 tablespoons light soy sauce; 4 shallots, roughly chopped

1
Trim off the roots of the lemon grass, cut apart the stalks and chop roughly.
2
Place into a blender/ food processor along with all the other marinade ingredients.
3
Process until the mixture has reached a smooth consistency.
4
Put the chicken pieces in a deep enough dish and pour over the marinade.
5
Stir to mix well, then cover the dish and place in chiller to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6
Prepare the BBQ or preheat the oven to 200 degrees C / 400 degrees F. If cooking in the oven, arrange the chicken pieces on a rack over a roasting tin (this prevents dripping juices from staining the oven).
7
Barbecue or bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the pieces are cooked and golden brown.
8
Turn the pieces and brush with the marinade once or twice during cooking.
9
Remove from oven or BBQ and serve with lime wedges.
