Notes about this recipe

    This was quick and easy. Broiled easily. Made the smashed cucumbers as the side and it worked out great.

    These were fine but I'll admit to being a bit underwhelmed. I think more heat (fresh chiles?) and using the BBQ would benefit these marinated thighs greatly. I marinated for around 2 hours and it is my habit to replace fish sauce with a 50:50 mix of fish & oyster sauce but I don't think this is to blame here.

    We didn't love this even though we love Vietnamese food. I marinaded it on the longer side of her suggested time, and the chicken ended up a bit tough. The flavor wasn't special enough for us to make it again.

    We liked the flavor quite a bit (grilled rather than broiled). We marinated the chicken about 3 hours and it was a tad chalky as hbakke noted so I would marinate a much shorter time in the future.

    Nice enough. Serving size was a little small (1 chicken thigh fillet per person). Served with the cucumber salad from the same book and rice.

    I found the marinade to be really lime heavy.

  • hbakke on September 15, 2019

    I didn't love this. I just don't really like fish sauce in most things. I think I overmarinated the chicken since it had a chalky texture. I wouldn't make this again.

    This is such a wonderful, zingy chicken recipe. I recommend making it and wish I could remember to make it more often.

    I added peanuts and really went heavy on the lime and ginger. Did honey instead of sugar. Was good.

    Really needs the cilantro, so don't skimp on it.
