Baise Lemongrass Chicken

Bǎisè Xiāngmáojī is a Baise specialty that uses fresh lemongrass to marinate free-range chicken, then cooks it in banana leaves. The lemongrass infuses the tender meat with a citrusy, herbal aroma that is distinctly refreshing. This dish reflects the Zhuang ethnic tradition of using wild herbs in cooking.
