Vietnamese Lemongrass Baked Chicken

I wanted to try using lemongrass and found this tube of lemongrass paste in the supermarket which is great to have on hand.



We have fish sauce readily available in our supermarket, but you may have to go to an Asian grocery store to find it.



Then I located this delicious recipe on the internet which I simplified. I've already made it several times which must mean it's a keeper. I thought you might enjoy it too.

Vietnamese Lemon Grass Baked Chicken

10 chicken pieces (I use thighs)
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks lemon grass, bottom 6 inches only sliced diagonally (or 1 tbs lemongrass paste)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 tbs dark soy sauce

In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, mix all ingredients together.
Bake in 350°F (175°C) oven about 30 minutes.



And here's a joke for the day:
