Prepare the marinade by blending coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and lime juice until smooth.

Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Baste the chicken with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve garnished with Thai basil and lime wedges.
