Lemon Grass & Chilli Baked Chicken

You can take this approach with any cut of chicken and it also works a treat with fresh fish fillets – don’t forget to reduce the cooking time as fish cooks much quicker than chicken.

4 chicken thigh quarters

Lemon Grass Flavours
3 tsp finely grated lemon grass
½ cup Thai sweet chilli sauce
½ cup water
2 tbsp fish sauce
zest and juice of 2 limes
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp sugar

Preheat oven to 180°C. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish. Combine lemon grass flavours and pour it over. Bake until chicken is cooked through and golden, 45-50 minutes. Serve with stir-fried vegetables and rice or noodles.
