Cambodian Lemon Grass Chicken Drumsticks

This Cambodian Lemon Grass Chicken Drumstick will not disappoint in flavor. It is spicy and gently hot from the Lemon Grass that did not overshadow the gentle taste of the coconut milk. Just like any Asian cuisine, this meal is super delicious for get together and for dinner time. Try it.

Cambodian Lemon Grass Chicken Drumsticks

Transport yourself to Cambodia with this Cambodian Dish. It has coconut milk, lemon grass and chicken drumsticks. You can switch the drumsticks into chicken wings or chicken breasts. But for me, I want me some chicken drumsticks, Cambodian style.

I have never been to Cambodia but it has been one of the places that I want to go next to Europe. I am specially enamored by their culture and their faith . I am amazed how adamant they are  about reincarnation and the commitment they have on practicing  Zen . Then, the  Buddhas. I digress. I guess I was influenced by too much watching The Tomb Raider. Look at Angie’s body, do you think  Cambodian soil, water or cuisine could have caused that?

A friend of mine went in Cambodia this year and I can assure you I was green with envy  ( Nenete, I am talking to you). Oh well, I will just have to comfort myself with this dish today. As what we expect about Cambodia,  it is a country filled with fresh fragrant produce, fresh seafood, organic meat and spices everywhere. So this meal just fit to that. Salty, sweet, spicy,  Cambodia has all the flavors covered. So with this dish,  it will bring me and you  closer to Cambodia and Cambodian cuisine. Now, let’s get cooking.
