How to Make: Spicy Lemongrass Chicken / Ga Nuong Sa Ot

If you’ve been following my recipes for a while, you already know how much love my grilled lemongrass chicken gets. It’s easily one of my most popular dishes, and for good reason. It’s smoky, flavorful, and rooted in the kind of Vietnamese home cooking I grew up with. But today, we’re turning it up a notch and bringing the heat. This spicy grilled lemongrass chicken retains all the flavors you love, such as bold lemongrass, garlic, and the umami from fish sauce, while adding a serious kick with dried Thai chilies. The result is a dish that’s fiery, vibrant, and perfect for summer cookouts. The marinade can be prepared ahead of time, making it ideal for entertaining. And if you’re looking to change things up from the usual burgers and hot dogs, this might be your new favorite.
