Called “Chicken Three Ways,” this dish is indeed perfect for pecking at while sipping beer or a dram of whiskey. “It’s something you just take a little bite of when you’re drinking booze,” Ricker says. When preparing the lemongrass, he strongly advises peeling off the fibrous outer part and using only the tender part of the stalk.
