Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of all visible fat
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped basil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped mint
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Steps

  1. Season the chicken with pepper. Combine the garlic in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the fish sauce, brown sugar and chili powder. Rub the seasonings over the chicken and refrigerate up to 1 hour.
  2. Toss the remaining cilantro with the basil and mint in a small bowl. Heat the oil until shimmering in a large nonstick skillet. Add the chicken and cook over high heat, turning once until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Cut each thigh into 3 or 4 pieces. Transfer the chicken to a platter and scatter the herbs all over. Serve with the lime wedges.
