Thai Sweet Chili Chicken Recipes

SWEET CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the Batter until well combine. Add the chicken into the batter.
• Heat up a wok/skillet with about two inches of oil. As soon as the oil is fully heated, deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Transfer the chicken out to a dish lined with paper towels to sock up the excess oil.
• Clean the wok/skillet and heat it up on medium heat. Add the oil and stir-fry the garlic until aromatic. Transfer the fried chicken into the wok, follow by the sweet chili sauce, lime juice and salt. Stir to coat the chicken well with the sweet chili sauce.
• Dish out, garnish with the white sesame and cilantro leave. Serve immediately.

THAI SWEET CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fry the 1/2 of the onions, 1/2 of the ginger, and all the garlic in a very hot pan/pot with vegetable oil. (Add ingredients to the pan in the above mentioned order so that you don't burn the garlic).
• After browning the edges of the onions (about 2-3 mins), add chicken. Fry for five more minutes.
• Add sweet chili sauce, fish sauce, red pepper flakes. (You can add salt/pepper here too if you are familiar with this dish, otherwise wait so that you don't oversalt.).
• Reduce heat to med-low and allow the chicken to simmer without the lid for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid should reduce by at least half.
• Salt/pepper to taste. (The chicken should be fully cooked at this point, so you can taste the sauce.).
• Add the rest of the onions and ginger, then cook for 3-5 more minutes.
• Enjoy with jasmine rice.
