Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Stir lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Rub the paste all over the chicken thighs, under the skin and on all sides.
Step 4
Arrange chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan. Roast at 450°F for 18–20 minutes, until skin is charred and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F in the thickest part.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and let rest 3 minutes. Serve hot with jasmine rice and lime wedges.
