The CREAMIEST Coconut Sweet Chilli Chicken | #cookwithme | Marion's Kitchen

creamy with a hint of mild sweet chili and this chicken dinner comes together in less than 20 minutes my friends this is my coconut sweet chili chicken all right you gotta love a dinner that is like so jam-packed full of flavor but so easy this is the one my friends the one all right we've got a couple of cheats here which we're gonna go through first up we're gonna start off with some chicken thighs first of all because you know what i'm just you guys know i'm a legs and thighs girl look you can do this with chicken breasts too don't worry um but the point is i want some like sort of smallish chunks here i want i want the chunks big enough that i've got some like heft but you know i want them small enough they're going to cook quickly so kind of a balance there so our first little flavor cheat here to get the maximum amount of flavor in the quickest amount of time is to use our sauce as both a marinade and as part of the sauce a little bit later on now i'm going in here with my marion's kitchen sticky chili ginger sauce i love this one a lot of you guys do too you've told me about it if you can't get a hold of this you can use my from scratch recipe on my website or you can also use just a regular sweet chili as well it's going to work just as well well maybe not just as well because like my sauce is extra special but you know it's still going to work well now i just want a couple of tablespoons just a little drizzle on the chicken give that a mix and now that's pretty much it for prep now we're straight into the wok or uh sauce burn or frying pan that you're using just want a little bit of oil in here and now the trick here is that i want to get some really lovely caramelization as soon as that chicken hits the pan so i want the pan really hot and that kind of browning and caramelization is going to start building the layers of flavor that we're going for in this dish you'll see what i mean all right get your chicken in and now make sure that you're spreading that chicken out so that you're getting the most amount of heat coming into the most amount of you know sort of contact with the chicken these are all the little things that make the difference between like amazing and you know just like meh so keep an eye out for the little things okay it's been a couple of minutes i haven't touched my chicken i've just let that heat do its thing and now once you can start to see this really beautiful dark deep color happening now you can give everything a stir fry so at this point you want to make sure your sauce isn't burning too much because we've got quite a sweet sauce going on here and i want some color but i don't want too much burn so now you can just keep things kind of moving around in there and once everything is looking like quite delicious like in this kind of you know beautiful golden color kind of way now we can add in our coconut milk [Music] and then you want to add in the rest of your sticky chili ginger or your sweet chili sauce whatever you're using [Music] i'm going to add in a little bit of fish sauce here as well and how much you add really depends on taste um my sticky chili ginger sauce has quite a lot of beautiful seasonings so i'm not going to add too much but you might have to adjust depending on what kind of sauce that you're using and now turn the heat down a little bit lower and then just let that gently bubble away for 10 minutes or until that chicken is completely cooked through okay so this is currently smelling really amazing everything's looking really lovely and creamy in there i'm going to go ahead and add in my final little bits it's always about the final bits that make things extra special um i want some red chilies here i'm going to grab some thai basil now if you can't get thai basil you can always just use regular italian basil or some coriander or cement you just kind of want a little bit of freshness at the end [Music] so you want a nice decent handful of your basil to go in here [Music] and a little bit of that chili as well save a bit for the end as well let's mix that through and like even just that little hint like fragrance of the basil mixing through with that sauce is so delightful all right so we're good to go here now you could serve this with some noodles i've just got rice today and wow look at that glossy creamy stuff happening there that is so [Music] good [Music] now just some more final bits here a little bit more basil and i want a little lime wedge here as i quite like a little bit of extra tang at the end and there you go my friends my coconut sweet chili chicken i can't wait to get in here little squeeze of lime [Music] smells so good that is such a huge amount of flavor to get in such a small spatial time it's kind of like got this like sweet tangness going on without it being overly sweet just really just really delish my goodness i could eat this every night of the week amazing [Music] if you've got any comments
