Steps:
- Chicken:

- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Toast shallots, scallions, chile, and garlic, tossing occasionally, until dark brown in spots, 8-10 minutes. Let cool. Remove skins from garlic and coarsely chop garlic with shallots, scallions, and chile.
- Add garlic, shallots, scallions, chile, and ginger to lemongrass infusion. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar.
