Now we are going to prepare the marinade. I have with me over here four pieces of lemongrass
using only the white stem, two pieces of garlic, just cut them coarsely like this,
one thumb size of young ginger, coarsely cut up, four pieces of shallots, also coarsely cut up.
Put them in your food processor or blender. If you don't have a food processor you can of course
pound them with a mortar and pestle. Add in three tablespoons of fish sauce. If you do not have
fish sauce you can replace this with soy sauce but it's advisable to use fish sauce for this umami
taste. Add in one and a half tablespoon of oyster sauce, three tablespoons of honey. If you do not
have honey at home you can always replace with brown sugar or cane sugar. Add in also 40 milliliters
of water, one tablespoon of cooking oil. This will make the blending easier and finally a few dashes
of white pepper and now all we have to do is start to blend them. The blending is done now. I'll show
you how they look like. This is what we want. I'll show you the next step in a while. Now we'll start to
marinate our chicken. I have with me over here 550 grams of boneless chicken leg. I've made some
cuts on the thicker parts so that they will cook better and more evenly as well as to absorb the
marinade better. Now we just pour everything in, scrape everything out. This is really going to be
super flavorful. Using a clean pair of hands, massage the marinade into the chicken gently.
After you're done with this, just put this in the fridge and we need to marinate this for at least
an hour, preferably overnight. I'll see you back in a while. We've marinated the chicken overnight
and it's time to air fry them. Before you air fry them, remember to remove the chicken from the
fridge at least half an hour before you air fry them and of course to remove most of the marinade
from the skin otherwise they will burn easily. I'm using an air fryer but of course you can use
an oven also. I'll let you know the temperature in a while. So we just place this in, spread it out
so that they will be cooked evenly. My air fryer is not big enough so I'm going to air fry them in
two batches. Put the chicken into the air fryer. We'll air fry this first at 150 degrees celsius
for 10 minutes and I'll show you the next step after this. 10 minutes is up, let's have a look.
The chicken is partially cooked already. We just need to brown this further.
Now in case you're using an oven to roast the chicken or bake the chicken itself, please heat
up your oven to 180 degrees celsius for at least half an hour before you place them in for another
20 minutes. Now we'll air fry this for the second time. At 180 degrees celsius, we'll air fry this
for another five minutes and then we'll check on the chicken. Five minutes is up, let's have a look.
Wow look at how beautiful this is. We'll proceed to air fry our second batch and it will be time
for lunch. Now the dish is done, let's have a taste. I can smell the beautiful fragrance
from the lemongrass, the shallots, the garlic. This is going to be really good.
Tender, juicy, full of flavor. This is really, really, really good. So ladies and gentlemen,
