  • measuring spoons
  • French knife
  • mixing bowl
  • Roasting Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 Green or Red Chili finely chopped
  • 1 inch Ginger finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese Rice Wine
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice Powder
  • 1 tbsp Lemongrass finely chopped
  • 1 kg Skin on Chicken Thighs

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the chili, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese rice wine, Chinese Five Spice, and lemongrass.
  • Coat the chicken pieces in the marinade then store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
