Lemongrass Chicken Thigh is a flavorful dish inspired by Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Vietnamese and Thai traditions. This dish features tender chicken thighs marinated in a blend of fragrant lemongrass, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and a touch of honey or sugar for balance. Grilled, baked, or pan-seared to perfection, the chicken develops a caramelized, savory exterior with bright citrus-herb notes. Nutritionally, chicken thighs offer a good source of protein, vitamins like B6, and minerals such as selenium. However, they contain more fat than chicken breasts, making portion control important for those monitoring calorie intake. The lemongrass and other aromatics not only enhance flavor but also bring potential anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Often paired with rice or fresh vegetables, this dish is a delicious, nutrient-packed choice when enjoyed in moderation.
