Vietnamese inspired chicken

[CaseT]

Had a large pack of boneless skinless thighs to use. Made a simple Vietnamese inspired marinade. Vac packed with the chamber packer and let sit in the fridge for three days.

325° pit temp KBB no smoke wood.
Cooked until it looked right. Flipped once during the cook.

Marinade:

1/4 cup soy
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
Fresh chopped ginger (good sized thumb)
Two cloves of garlic minced
1 bunch of cilantro chopped
1 lime squeezed
Teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Flatiron brand chipotle chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon white pepper.
1 tablespoon sugar

Typically I’d add lemongrass but no one’s had any in the stores here.

Looking good. I also cannot find lemongrass

Lemon Zest (micro-planned lemon peel) makes up for the ever elusive lemongrass. I like like boneless/skinless thighs, will give your recipe a try

Yeah boneless skinless thighs are a favorite of mine. I've used lemon zest before unfortunately i'd used my last of the lemons we had making Lemon Posset. Which if you haven't had that its super refreshing dessert on a hot day!

That's some good flavors combined there. Sounds tasty!
