Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a large mixing bowl.

Add the chopped frozen lemongrass, garlic powder, and brown sugar to the chicken.

Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the chicken.

Add the fish sauce and soy sauce to the bowl.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with the chicken until evenly coated. Use a gloved hand for best results.

Line an air fryer basket with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Place the marinated chicken thighs into the prepared air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer without overcrowding.

Air fry the chicken at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

Halfway through the cooking time (around 6-7 minutes), open the air fryer and carefully flip the chicken pieces to ensure even cooking and to achieve a golden, crispy crust.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small container, combine the fish sauce, granulated sugar, chopped red chilies, and minced garlic.

Stir the dipping sauce ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and all components are well combined.

Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute. Then, cut it into desired pieces.

Serve the cut chicken over a bed of cooked rice.

Garnish the plate with julienned pickled carrots and sliced cucumbers.

Drizzle the prepared sweet and savory dipping sauce generously over the chicken and rice. Enjoy!
