Thai Chicken Chili 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 PEANUT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook in batches, if necessary, until nicely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• At the same time, heat a small amount of water to boiling in a small saucepan. Add carrots and boil until just starting to get tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; stir in onion, white parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, Sriracha, lime juice, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until peanut butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Add cooked chicken, carrots, and peanut sauce to the onion mixture. Stir in beans, scallion greens, and basil until well mixed.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring often, until well blended and heated through, 30 to 40 minutes. The sauce should be a little thin as it cooks; if not, add water until desired consistency.

• In a large dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the onions, garlic, both peppers and the chilis.
• Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring until softened.
• Push the onion and peppers over to one side of the pot and then add in the ground chicken to brown.
• Once the chicken is browned through, stir together with the peppers and onions.
• Add the cumin, chili powder and salt then stir to combine.
• Pour in the beer to deglaze the pot, scraping up the bottom as you stir.
• Next pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sriracha and oyster sauce then stir.
• Stir in the peanut butter until it's completely mixed into the chili.
• Add the beans in, stir and let simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to an hour.

THAI LARB GAI (CHICKEN WITH LIME, CHILI AND FRESH HERBS)

Steps:

• To make roasted rice powder, heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Add raw rice and cook, stirring often, until rice is toasted and dark brown, but not black, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside to cool. Grind to a coarse powder in a mortar, blender or coffee grinder; set aside.
• To cook chicken, heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When very hot, add 2 tablespoons water, then add chicken, stirring constantly to break up any lumps. Cook just until cooked through, about two minutes, then transfer to mixing bowl. While chicken is just warm, add remaining ingredients (except for garnishes) and roasted rice powder. Mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings. Mixture should be tangy, salty and lightly spicy.
• Spoon onto serving plate and surround with mint, lettuce and cucumber. Serve with rice. If serving with sticky rice, pinch some off, mold into a small ball and dip into larb, scooping up a little of each ingredient. Or scoop larb into lettuce leaves.
