Bash and combine together. Add the fish sauce, light soy sauce and oyster sauce to the pestle and mortar. Add 1 tsp of palm sugar and finely chopped coriander stalks to the mixture.

Butterfly your chicken so that it fits flatly in the tray. Rub your marinade all over the chicken. If you have time, wrap the chicken in cling foil and leave it to marinate in the fridge overnight but if you want to eat it sooner, then you can begin the cooking process.
