Preparation

Step 1

1. Washed the chicken meat thoroughly and cut each piece into 2-3 portions. Pat the meat dry with kitchen paper. Set aside in a bowl.
2. In another small bowl, mix well the honey, light soya sauce and grounded fresh turmeric.
3. Pour the marinate into the prepared chicken meat and let the meat marinate for 1 hour.
4. Preparing the lemongrass sticks for grilling: Wash the lemongrass sticks. Split the lemongrass sticks into half about 1 inch from the root end (white part) but not all the way through the tip (green part). This is to make sure you have a space in the center of the lemongrass to hold (to pinch) pieces of meat and the other end to hold and turn the meat when grilling.
Note: If the lemongrass is larger and longer, you can add in extra meat instead of 1 piece per lemongrass stick.
5. Insert the marinated a piece meat (or more) between the halved lemongrass sticks.
6. Grill the meat until it's cooked. You can use the BBQ set to grill or in the oven at 200 ºC for 15-20 minutes or until it's cooked to your preference. Don't forget to turn on both sides (that's where the uncut portion of the lemongrass comes in handy).
