Pin Recipe Instructions
- Peel the garlic and ginger, then grate them finely.
- In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, ginger, 3 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper to taste, and 100 ml fish sauce. Stir until well combined.
- Trim excess skin and fat from the chicken legs. Score the skin on both sides with shallow cuts roughly every centimetre to help the marinade penetrate.
- Place the chicken in a deep container and pour the marinade over it, ensuring all scored areas are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken legs on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes and basting with any remaining marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). The surface may appear charred due to the sugar in the marinade, which is normal.
Bon Appetit!
