HOW TO MAKE LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

This spicy-lemongrass-marinated-chicken combination was so utterly simple and perfect. In addition to the lemongrass, the marinade is also packed with garlic, citrus, and chili peppers.

I poured half of the lemongrass marinade over some chicken thighs and put it away for a couple of hours, allowing all those flavors to come together.

When ready, all you have to do is transfer it all to the grill or a grill pan, brush some more marinade over it, and grill away. Several short minutes later, you’re going to feast on THIS:

Doesn’t that look perfect and amazing!?! I LOVE IT!

FYI: I picked up a few bottles of Private Selection’s Indian-inspired Tandoori Marinade, too, and I’m really looking forward to sharing a recipe that I made with it in the very near future. Stay tuned.

ENJOY!

  1. I enjoy suggestions from others who’ve tried something new – like this marinade – so I’d make the dish you featured here to start! After tasting it with that, I’d probably try it with some shrimp or white fish – baked or grilled.

    I would use a combo of chicken and shrimp. Marinade the protein in the sauce and then cook them on skewers along with some colorful veggies. Nummmmmy

    Since I can’t have red meat anymore, it sounds good on chicken,pork and vegetables. I would put in rice and some potato dishes. This will spice up my boring recipes. Can’t wait to use. I’m so excited. Going to Ralphs today. Yea. Thank you for the new recipe. We will try for Father’s day.

  4. Would be delicious on jumbo shrimp, marinated and skewered with red, yellow and green peppers and pineapple chunks, all brushed with the marinade while grilling.

    I would use it on homemade cielito lindo, enchiladas, roasted chicken or even soup for my love for spice!!

  6. I have a giant bag of tail-on shrimp. I am wondering if I thawed and marinated it with this then put the shrimps on skewers and grilled them if that would be good (I think so, I would try it).

    I’m experimenting with new recipes and am especially interested in trying ethnic recipes from various cultures. I haven’t done too much with Indian food – yet – and getting these marinades would be a good way to start. I guess I’d make the recipe you shared first, since I’d be getting the marinade I need to make it.

  10. Will cook with turkey or chicken and salad cannot wait to try this marinate looks delicious yummy yummy in my tummy

    These marinades sound absolutely amazing and I would love to try them on chicken, veggies and kabobs.

    I have never heard of these marinades but they look delicious. And I love how easy they are to use. I would love to try some on some fish, and I think any of the marinades would taste great on some tilapea or some cod and then grilled or even baked. Each marinade would make a totally different meal, even if I used the same fish or meat! That’s awesome because we LOVE fish and changing it around with these marinades would be great. We also love pork loin and I think using the marinades on a pork loin would be fabulous! PLUS we always have leftover pork loin and then we can use it to some delicious and different sandwiches!! YEAH!! More flavor and less prepping and cooking! Sounds good to me!

    I eat a lot of chicken and salmon. I plan on trying this recipe of yours for the spicy (love spicy) lemongrass chicken, but would also love to try both of these on some salmon!

    Yum! I want to try your Lemongrass Grilled Chicken. We also like to ma kabobs for fun, and either of these would be wonderful on those.

  15. I am planting my first-ever garden and am looking forward to enjoying lots of heirloom veggies and watermelon. That is if they survive my beginner gardening skills!! I would love to experiment with the sauces to make veggie and fish/seafood dishes. Of course, I will also use them in chicken recipes like the lemongrass grilled chicken and chicken and veggie wraps.

  16. I would love to try this particular dish as well as a pork tenderloin with the marinade. Sounds delicious!

    I have to try these marinades – both of those flavors are right up my alley! Your dish is just beautiful.

    What a perfect, flavorful dinner for grilling season! I know we’re gonna LOVE these flavors together.

  19. This recipe looks incredible. I am obsessed with trying new sauces. Writing this one on my shopping list right now.

  20. I would use the lemongrass marinade to make pulled chicken tacos Рcook the chicken caramelize onions and fill soft taco shells with lettuce, cheese and a little sour cream or cr̬me fraiche to round out the flavors. For the Tandoori marinade, I would use either steak tips or flank steak and make kabobs with onions, peppers and cherry tomatoes Рor maybe marinated veggie skewers and just grilled steak. YUMMY

    OH WOW…The possibilities are endless. These marinades look amazing. I would literally use them on pork loin/pork chops, chicken, beef, salmon fillets, & just about any recipes. Would be extra amazing used in slow cooker recipes. Would definitely love to win these marinades. Can almost taste them already by looking at this awesome recipe.

  25. The chicken looks so good. I’;m all about healthy, but easy and this look like something I’d definitely make with the marinade.

  26. I will be making shish kabobs with beef ,cherry tomatoes ,onions ,red and green bell pepper ,mushrooms and shrimp shish kabobs with pineapple , onions ,mushrooms ,and yellow bell peppers.

    That marinade sounds soooo good! I love those flavors, and since this is an easy & quick dish, even better! It looks fab!

  28. I would definitely use it for chicken; being a diabetic, chicken is a main meat menu and I am always trying to add more flavor to the Tyson chicken.

  29. we are a family for chicken, your photo looks so delicious. would like to try your recipe with the vietnamese sauce. just in case I do not make the list, where can I get this sauce?

    I know it will work well with chicken but I am also going to try on veggies and tofu or tempeh. I think it will be good!

    Yes! I am so into anything lemongrass. Looking for this marinade next time I am at Fred Meyer!

    I would use the marinades to grill chicken, beef, and seafood along with vegetables. I could also use the marinade in my crockpot or stir fry for easy and delicious meals!

  34. You’re right this does sound like super delicious stress-free cooking! Love it! I would like to try this marinade with flank steak on the grill.

  35. The lemongrass marinade is a brilliant idea … cubed pork or chicken on skewers cooked on the bbq would be my favourite way of using it.

  36. I would either use the marinade for some chicken thighs are a roaster chicken with a side of roasted veggies.

  37. I adore Vietnamese food so that Spicy Lemongrass Marinade is right up my alley! I would definitely use it on chicken but I think it would taste great on BBQ’d shrimp skewers too. Served with a side of coconut rice – YUMMY!

  38. We just bought a ton of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, so I would almost certainly use these on those.
