Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, coconut aminos, lime juice, and avocado oil. Mix well to create a marinade.

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor.

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chicken thighs with red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Garnish the roasted chicken thighs with freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.
