Hand-drawn steps
In a bowl, combine the minced lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, and brown sugar to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them well. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove from oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
