trimmed and minced
coarsely chopped leaves
minced fresh
freshly ground
preferably skin-on, bone-in
Combine the lemongrass, cilantro, ginger, black pepper, brown sugar, and salt in a plastic ziplock bag. Shake vigorously to mix.
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry with a paper towel. Add them to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place skin-side up in a roasting pan.
Bake for 15 minutes; turn the chicken over and cook for 20 minutes longer, or until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer reads 82°C (180°F).
Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for 1 minute. Flip and broil for 1 minute longer to brown the second side.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for at least 4 minutes before serving.
