1. Slice chicken in the middle to open it up and soak it in room temperature water with a pinch of salt for 1 hour.

The marinade sauce contains 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoon fresh garlic and 2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chopped lemongrass, 1 cup of half and half.

3. Preheat Oven to 400F

4. Put the chicken in the oven for 30 minutes and turn over for 15-30 minutes. Keep checking during that time.

5. Finish the chicken on the grill afterwards to get the grilled smokey flavor on medium heat.

6. For the Jiow sauce, mix the ingredients of 1/4 cup of fish sauce, 1/4 cup of tamarind, 1/4 cup of palm sugar in a pot and simmer on medium heat. Stir until it turns to a clear liquid.

7. Top the Jiow sauce with 1/4 cup of rice powder, chopped green and red onion, squeezed fresh lime juice to your liking, and add chili powder if desired.
