   • In a bowl, whisk together scallions (chopped), fresh lime juice, minced garlic, sugar, soy sauce, fresh ginger (grated), salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Add the ground chicken to the marinade mixture and gently mix until evenly coated.

3. Shape the Sticks:

   • Take about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and shape it into sticks, resembling 3-inch-long cylinders.

4. Chill:

   • Cover the sticks and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

5. Prepare Dipping Sauce:

   • In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, sugar, minced garlic, fresh ginger (grated), and fish sauce. Set aside for serving.

6. Preheat Grill:

   • Light your grill and preheat it to medium heat.

7. Grill the Sticks:

   • Place the marinated chicken sticks on the preheated grill.
   • Grill the sticks, turning occasionally to prevent burning, until they are cooked through and have a golden brown char on the outside, about 10-12 minutes.

8. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the sticks from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
   • Garnish with sliced scallions and fresh herbs.
   • Serve the Vietnamese Chicken Sticks with lettuce leaves for wrapping and the prepared dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a dash of chili paste or Sriracha to the marinade.
• Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent the chicken from sticking.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Customize the garnishes according to your preference with chopped peanuts, cilantro, or shredded carrots.
