Notes

For best results, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Fresh ingredients, especially herbs and citrus, make a significant difference in taste.
If you prefer a spicier sauce, start with half a chili and adjust based on your heat preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently to retain moisture.
The Nuoc Cham sauce can be stored separately in a jar for up to five days—just give it a shake before serving.
