For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. If you don't have lemongrass paste, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh lemongrass. These chicken thighs are also delicious when cooked in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop. Make sure the grill is hot before adding the chicken thighs. This helps to get a nice sear on the outside and keeps the chicken juicy. Don't overcrowd the grill. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
