Recently, Lemongrass Kumquat Chili Chicken Shanks becomes popular to Vietnamese, especially teenagers who are avid noshers. My younger sister, @maiquynh also loves it so much. It is a good choice for small parties as well, when you drink wine or beer with your friends and need something sour, spicy and tasty.
It is quite easy to make. Let's follow me.

You should not put lemon leave into your products though it has good smell but it will make our mixture bitter.
Add more chili or vinegar up to your favorite flavour.

You had better put in glass bottle rather than plastic one to maintain and store it in fridge for longer time.
