Method

Before serving, stir in chopped cilantro and chili flakes into the chicken.
In a bowl, mix vinegar, soy sauce, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic. Add chicken and marinate for 1-2 hours.
Preheat grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until charred and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
While chicken cooks, prepare rice: rinse rice, add to pot with water and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Serve chicken with rice.
Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
