Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice, plus extra lime wedges for serving
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or brown sugar)
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
4 small garlic cloves
2 stalks lemongrass, tender white parts only, roughly chopped (see below)
1 medium shallot, peeled and halved (or half of a small red onion)
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, lemongrass and shallot in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
Combine the chicken and marinade in a large bowl. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using.) Thread the chicken evenly onto the skewers.
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken kabobs evenly on the grill. Cook for 10-14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (no longer pink on the inside).
Transfer the kabobs to a clean plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let the chicken rest for at least 5-10 minutes.
Then serve warm while the chicken is hot and juicy, sprinkled with an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice (plus some thinly-sliced green onions) if desired. Or, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped lemongrass
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 ½ pounds chicken thighs, or more to taste, pounded to an even thickness

Steps:

Mix canola oil, lemongrass, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fish sauce together in a mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved; add chicken and turn to coat in the marinade.
Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake to remove excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
