1

In a small bowl, whisk together 12 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tsp fish sauce, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tsp brown sugar, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make a glaze.

Season the 2.5 lbs patted dry bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.

Questions

Can I make Gà Nướng Tỏi Mật gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Gà Nướng Tỏi Mật keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat in a hot skillet rather than the microwave to keep the char.

Can I halve or double Gà Nướng Tỏi Mật?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
