Lightly season the splayed chicken with some fish sauce.

Put all the ingredients (in order) in a blender and puree.

Massage the paste onto the chicken strips for a minute.

Put everything in a container and let it marinate for a couple hours in the refrigerator.

Heat the grill half on HIGH and half OFF.

Spray some high-heat oil on the grill right before you place the chicken on.

Heat the thighs first. Flip after you read a 140ºF reading.

Sear, crisp, whatever for 5 minutes.

Let it rest for 2 minutes.
