Mix everything and marinate the chicken at least a couple hours, overnight is best.
Grill the thighs over fairly high heat until nicely charred and cooked through (personally I like my thighs around 190 internal) then let them rest and slice thin on a bias.
**Quick pickled carrots & daikon:**
* ~1/2 cup julienned carrot
* ~1/2 cup julienned daikon
* 2 tbsp rice vinegar
* 1 tbsp water
* 2 tsp sugar
* 1/4 tsp salt
Mix and let sit 20–30 min or longer.
**Sauce (I know this isn’t traditional but this sauce rules and elevates the sandwich):**
* 1 1/2 tbsp kewpie mayo
* 1 tsp sriracha
* 1/2 tsp fish sauce
* 1/2 tsp lime juice
* pinch of sugar
Mix together.
**Assembly:**
* warm/crispy baguette
* spread sauce on both sides
* sliced lemongrass chicken
* pickled carrot + daikon
* cucumber
* cilantro
* jalapeño
* optional few drops of Maggi seasoning
* optional spoonful of **Huy Fong chili garlic sauce** at the end if you want extra heat
Press lightly and let it sit a minute before eating.
That’s basically it. Insanely good and one of the best sandwiches ever imo.
