Step 1

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and trim excess fat if needed. Place chicken in a bowl before adding the marinade.

Mix chicken with fish sauce, oyster sauce, caramel sauce, scallion oil, sugar, honey, lime juice, lemongrass, and garlic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
