Complexity:  Easy 
Preparation and Cooking time:  Marinate: minimum of 3 hours to overnight.  I had my chicken thighs marinated overnight.  Cooking time:  45 minutes 

Ingredients: 

2 chicken thighs
For the marinate:
1 cup soy sauce 
1 cup olive oil 
3 stalks lemongrass 
1 cup garlic 

Procedure:  
1.  For the marinate:  Put the chicken in a bowl and add the soy sauce.  Make sure that all parts of the chicken have been soaked in the soy sauce.  Add the olive oil.  Add the garlic.  Squeeze the juice out of the lemon grass on the marinate mixture. Fold the lemongrass and put it at the base of the marinate, below the chicken.  Cover the bowl with a transparent film and leave it in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours to overnight to settle all the flavors. 

2.  Pre heat the oven at 160º.  Put in the bowl with the chicken and let it cook for 45-50 minutes. 

Side dishes:  1 bowl of steamed rice (very Filipino) and veggies on the side - steamed spinach and oven cooked potatoes 

Ready to serve!  Enjoy this delish delight!!
