Keto Thai Lemongrass Chicken

I learned this simple recipe from my friend and business partner Jed Lau. It's probably my favourite way to eat chicken. Quick and easy to prepare, but for the best flavour, be sure to marinate at least 30 minutes.

Notes

I love the flavour of this chicken when it is grilled on a BBQ and then finished in the oven!
