Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced lemongrass. Add vegetable oil, black pepper, sugar, and fresh lime juice, whisking until fully blended.
- Place the chicken thighs into a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag, removing excess air, or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- About 15 minutes before grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Once marinated, remove the chicken thighs from the refrigerator and let them rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Carefully place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
- Once you see a nice brown crust forming, flip them over and grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the rested chicken against the grain for easy serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve alongside sliced cucumbers and lime wedges.

Notes
Marinate for at least 4 hours for best flavor. Always preheat the grill and use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
