Hot Thai Chicken! - Fried Chicken in Sweet Chili Lime Sauce Recipe

I have finally developed the dish deserving of the name "Hot Thai Chicken"! This recipe has been simmering in my mind for a long time, and when I finally tested it out, it absolutely blew me away. The perfect mix of sweet, tart, spicy, sticky, crispy and tender...this sweet chili lime sauce would be good even on fried tofu or fish. This one is a must-try!

OMG, I made it for a few friends last night. Served it with jasmine rice and a side of Thai cucumber salad, it all went together so well. Thank you, Pai for creating and sharing this incredibly delicious recipe. We literally inhaled and savored every bite of it.

Still an absolute WINNER of a dish. My kids love it and I also use it to impress guests too 😏 so very grateful for this 4 years later. TY Pailin 😘

I've made this recipe twice now and it's delicious!

Tip: Cook it in an Airfryer then "brown" them quickly in the deep fryer. This way they spend less time in oil.

Unbelieve wonderfull. I just made for my friends and EVERYBODY says it is the best chicken ever. I'm thai cuisine fan since few years and make a lot of different thai and generally far east food very often. My best congratulations for this recipe.

[RandomActUpMedia]

I have been doing variations of this for decades...I have so many different flavors...sometimes adding ginger...or even Mexican spices like cumin, or even Adobe(Philippine)...the curry style is great too, it depends on your mood... the key here is the "dry fry" ....meaning coating the chicken in sauce in a pan with no oil... spicy Taraki never fails to wow my guests...Thanks for the videos you are beautiful and you recipes are awesome.. happy eating

[michellehalliday]

This is seriously the best recipe ever! I added more chilli because I wanted it very spicy but I made sure to add just a tiny bit more of fish sauce and sugar as well to balance it out. Everyone loved it!!

Pai I got tired of boomarking all of your recipe!!! Everything looks sooo good! We will be having Thai food all year at this rate.

I made this dish tonight. Wow… it was so delicious! Just returned home from Bangkok on vacation where we ate amazing food, street food, etc, and we’ve been cooking Thai food every night using your recipes since we got home. Now we can have the authentic Thai food at home thanks to you.

I have made it so many times since 2020... Yet I always go back n read the recipe..some word are memorised now...
But this recipe is for our special I never get sick n tired of it

[duckpwnd]

I made this recipe with a friend the other day. As soon as we tried it we both instantly agreed that it was the best chicken recipe of all time. You could create a cookbook that has nothing but this recipe printed over and over again on every single page and it would be the greatest cookbook ever written.

I just made a version of this for my wife.... AND she loved it! I just added some fresh Thai Basil & peanuts on top... & more sugar ( Im half Laos, & Laos loves our sugar :) )

Dear Pai,
you are the best cooking teacher I´ve been listening and viewing on Youtube up so far. And the prettiest as well. I like very much how you explain all the steps and I love all your little moves and sounds you make.
Many times, when I don´t know what to prepare, I just pick one of your videos and let you inspire my cooking.
Thank you doing all this!

[allisonsipe]

I made this last night along with some rice and a cucumber salad. IT WAS AMAZING!!! I've added it to the top of our list and I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch. Thank yo Pai for always giving us new things to try in the kitchen!

[onks]

so my mom and i made this and served it along with some homemade fried rice, and it was GOOD. i will definitely make this again!

[SR-zogk]

Turned out very nice.. I have given a little twist by adding fresh lime juice at the end and also used kashmiri red chilli instead of regular hot red chilli to give it a good red colour without making it too hot

[EvanTreempire]

Wow! Just made this, and it's outstanding! Sweet, salty, floral citrus, umami - hits all the bases. This has instantly gone in the standard recipe rotation for me. Thank you so much!

[rudavalek]

After watching your vdo I literally ate my iPad. It was so crispy!
