Thai Red Curry Hot Wings Recipes

THAI STYLE RED CURRY LIME WINGS

Steps:

• Season the wings with salt and pepper (we used the little drumettes only, because they're actually cheaper here in China than the other part of the chicken wing, and we like them better). It's best to marinate them overnight, but it's not strictly necessary.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and roast the wings for 30 minutes. We're not allowed to barbecue here in the city center of Beijing, but feel free to grill the wings if you want. The smokiness will be fantastic.
• While that's going, combine the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl to form the sauce. Toss the hot wings in that mixture and serve.

RED CURRY-LIME CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Spread the wings on two large rimmed baking sheets, then drizzle with olive oil, the juice of 1 lime and some salt and pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Bake the wings until browned and crisp, about 40 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the butter with the coconut milk, curry paste, honey, soy sauce, lime zest and the remaining lime juice. Add the wings to the butter and toss to coat. Add the cilantro, mint, peanuts and chiles, then toss to coat. Serve hot.

THAI RED CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry 1 tbsp ginger and 1 tbsp garlic paste for 2 mins. Add 5-6 tbsp red curry paste, sizzle for a few secs, then pour in 800ml coconut milk.
• Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, stir a little and wait for the oil to rise to the surface.
• Add 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks, and lime leaves, and simmer for 12 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Add 1 tbsp of the fish sauce and a pinch of brown sugar, then taste - if you like it a little saltier, add more fish sauce; if you like it sweeter, add a little more sugar.
• Bring to the boil, take off the heat and add ½ small pack Thai basil.
• Spoon the curry into four bowls and top with 1 red chilli, a thumb-sized piece of ginger and a few extra basil leaves. Serve with jasmine rice.
