Braised Lemongrass Chicken with Chilies (Gà Xào Xả Ot)
This recipe has been an all time favorite in my household. When you bruise the lemongrass, it releases an aromatic flavor into the liquid. The chicken is packed with flavor and falls right off the bone. Serve this on rice and I guarantee you'll love it.

Airfry Lemongrass Chicken Gà Xào Sả Ớt
Gà Xào Sả Ớt (Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken) is full of bold savory and spicy flavors! Quick and easy to make on a week night to delight your family's palates! Lemongrass has it's own unique flavor and it's hard to describe it using one word. That is because lemongrass has a blend of fragrances all on its own and can taste lemony, minty, and gingery. In addition, the lemongrass will be mixed with a few other ingredients like oyster sauce, garlic and chili to add a complexity to the overall sauce. The best part about making this dish is that it's super easy but tastes like a dish that's been slaved over.
Ughhhhh sorry there's a typo on marinade! Please ignore. Thank you!

I always make lots of sauce in advanced and freeze them into portions so that I can easily marinate meats and chicken at a snap of my fingers. It's even quicker and easier now that I have an airfryer! The airfryer gives the chicken the look of grilled meat, but non of the work! I serve my lemongrass chicken with a side of veggies or a fresh Vietnamese cabbage salad (Gỏi Bắp Cải) and rice. My family of four will consume a large tray of chicken drum sticks! That's a dozen drumsticks!

I love this recipe because it is so good on top of Jasmine rice or Banh Mi(Vietnamese sandwich) and also I can make with pork, it works perfectly as well! If you are a vegetarian, no worries, you can make this with fried tofu! Superb!!!
