• 2 stalks lemongrass

• 3 tbsp oyster sauce

• 2 tbsp honey

• Chili (to taste)

• 2 cloves Solo Garlic

• ½ onion

• 1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine

For the sauce

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp honey

• 3 tbsp water

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or lemon juice)

• 1 tsp chopped garlic

• 2 tsp chopped ginger

• 1 tsp cooking oil

Preparation steps

1. Prepare the chicken

Debone the chicken thighs while keeping the pieces as flat as possible. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. Marinate the chicken

Blend or finely chop the onion, lemongrass, garlic, chili, oyster sauce, honey, and Chinese cooking wine. Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

3. Roll the chicken

Roll each chicken thigh into a cylinder and tie with kitchen string to hold its shape.

4. Roast the chicken

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roast the chicken on a baking tray for about 15 minutes, turning regularly. Then increase the temperature to 220°C and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until the skin is golden and crispy.

5. Prepare the sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, water, and vinegar. Sauté the garlic and ginger in a little oil, then add the sauce mixture. Cook over low heat until slightly syrupy.

6. Finish and serve

Remove the chicken from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Remove the string, slice the chicken, and coat with the honey and ginger sauce. Serve hot.
