Method
Crush the garlic and finely chop the coriander root, then whisk together with the fish sauce, palm sugar, white pepper, lime juice and oil in a mixing bowl to make the marinade.
Cut the chicken thighs into thick strips, toss in the marinade and thread onto the bamboo skewers.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat and grill the skewers for 5 minutes per side, basting with any remaining marinade, until charred and the chicken reaches 74°C on a meat thermometer.
Rest for 3 minutes, then serve with the lime wedges.
