Thai-Style Grilled Chicken Recipe

Pound together lemongrass, cilantro roots, and garlic. Transfer to a bowl. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice, pepper, brown sugar, turmeric, and coconut milk; mix together.

Pour over chicken, making sure to get some under the skin. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight.

Make the dipping sauce: Mix together lemon juice, fish sauce, and sugars in a bowl. Pound chili, garlic, and 2 tablespoons cilantro to a paste; add to lemon juice mixture. Add rice, if using. Season to taste. Set aside.

Heat a charcoal grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill chicken until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Chop into smaller pieces and garnish with remaining cilantro. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
