Instructions

1. Peel the garlic and ginger, then grate them finely.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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!
