Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Add half of the chicken and stir-fry for 4 minutes or until golden. Use tongs to transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
2
Add the sugar to the wok along with 2 tbsp water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until a caramel forms. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Add the lemongrass and garlic marinade, along with 1/2 cup water. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the chicken is gloriously sticky.

Top with spring onion, coriander and chilli. Serve with steamed rice.
