Smells Like Salad

Great chicken recipe! I replaced wings (we're not fans) with drumsticks. I used coconut sugar in place of palm and a tubed pureed lemongrass which is much easier to work with than fresh stalks (fresh lemongrass has failed me too many times.) I was able to gather enough fresh mint from the garden for the mint sauce even though the back-to-back snow and ice storms have done quite a bit of damage to most of my herbs. The chicken was served with a garnish of fresh cilantro/coriander and thinly sliced green onion/scallion and a basic Thai jasmine rice made with coconut milk, steamed veggies-broccoli, carrots and green beans and slices of cucumber sprinkled with rice vinegar. I really do need to make Asian food more often and get over my fear of it. Thank you for posting. Made for the FYC tag game.
