LEMONGRASS CHICKEN
Fresh lemongrass can be found at Asian markets, specialty greengrocers, and at many supermarkets. If unavailable use dried lemon grass (soak in hot water for 20 minutes). Or use 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest. Taken from Steven Raichlen's "Big Flavor Cookbook."

Steps:
- Wash and dry the chicken and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breast across the grain on the diagonal into 1/8-inch strips.
- Cut these strips into 2-inch pieces.
- Combine the chicken, honey, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl and stir to mix.
- Let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Trim the green leaves and root end off the lemongrass stalk and strip off the outside leaves.
- What remains will be a greenish crea m-colored core 4 to 5 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Mince the core finely: You'll need about 2 tablespoons.
- Just before serving, heat a wok (preferably nonstick) over high heat and swirl in the oil.
- Add the garlic and lemongrass and stir-fry until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds.
- Add the chicken and stir-fry until the pieces turn white, about 1 minute. Move the chicken to the sides of the wok and add the o nion to the center.
- Stir-fry until the onion loses its rawness, about 1 minute. Mix the chicken back in the center of the wok, add the remaining fish sauce, continue stir-frying until the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Correct the seasoning, adding honey or fish sauce to taste. The dish should be a little sweet and salty.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.

EASY LEMONGRASS CHICKEN
A recipe I found on About.com for Thailand and I am posting it for ZWT. Here is what is stated about the recipe: "Street cooking in Thailand is kept simple, with a minimal list of ingredients, and yet the food tastes so exquisite. You'll find the same to be true with this easy recipe for Thai lemongrass chicken. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the ingredients - when they're put together what results is sooo delicious. This recipe is derived from my adventures talking to street cooks in Thailand and watching what they do - the only difference here is that the chicken is baked instead of grilled or stir-fried. I love to make this dish with quarter chicken pieces, but thighs and even plain old chicken breast (skin left on) works well. Note that Carnation evaporated milk is a common street ingredient in Thailand and is often used for curries. Although you can also use coconut milk, I have found the evaporated version far superior in this case. Wonderful with rice or even potatoes.."

Steps:
- Thinly slice the lemongrass and then chop it up as finely as you can (alternatively you can use a food processor or chopper for the mincing part). Do the same with the purple onion and mix both in a bowl to create the marinade.
- Add the chili and sauces and stir again. Finally, add the Carnation milk and sugar. Stir everything together until sugar is dissolved.
- Place chicken pieces in a flat baking pan. Pour the lemongrass concoction over, turning chicken to saturate. Turn pieces skin-side down and set in refrigerator to marinate at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn chicken pieces skin-side up and spoon a little more of the marinade from the pan over the surface of each piece. Set baking pan in the middle of your oven and bake 60-75 minutes, until chicken is golden-brown on the surface.
- Accompany with plenty of Thai jasmine rice on the side and ENJOY!

Steps:
- With a pestle & mortar crush together the lemongrass, garlic, ginger and chili together into a paste, then stir in the other ingredients. A mini-food chopper can be used instead or simply mince all ingredients very well by hand and combine in a small bowl. Pour marinade over the chicken, stirring well to coat the meat. Cover and set in the refrigerator to marinate at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
