ROASTED LEMONGRASS CHICKEN WITH SWEET LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Thinly slice the lemongrass and then chop it up as finely as you can (alternatively you can use a food processor or chopper for the mincing part). Do the same with the onion, garlic, galangal/ginger, and chili.
• Set chicken pieces in a roaster or flat baking pan, and rub these herbs all over the skin, all sides. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Cover and leave in the refrigerator at least 1/2 hour or up to six hours to marinate.
• Preheat oven to 350. While the oven is warming up, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and coconut milk. Stir together until sugar is dissolved.
• Drizzle this over chicken, turning to saturate. Try to get as many of the herbs on the skin of chicken as possible.
• Add 1/4 cup water to the roaster/pan in and around the chicken.
• Cover and set in the middle of your oven to bake 45 minutes.
• Remove cover and continue roasting 20 minutes until chicken turns golden-brown (whole chicken will take longer).
• Top with slices of fresh lime and chili, if desired, or just serve as is.
• Accompany with plenty of Thai jasmine rice and the sweet lime sauce (below) on the side.
• While chicken is roasting, make the side sauce. In a saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except cornstarch. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
• Taste test for sweetness and saltiness, adding more honey if not sweet enough, or more fish sauce (instead of salt) as desired. If you prefer a spicy sauce, add some fresh chili or chili sauce.
• Add cornstarch and water mixture. Stir until sauce thickens. Serve with the roasted chicken and enjoy!

Using a spoon, rub the mixture on the bird, spreading it evenly; continue roasting. The chicken is done when its juices run clear. Let the chicken sit for 10 minute out of the oven before carving.
