Simple, Quick and Packed with Flavor! You just need to get yourself some Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. It’s in most grocers Asian section.
Here’s a picture.
This sauce is phenominal – sweet and spicy. We went to a cooking class at Red Light this past fall and Chef Jackie Chen used it in a pasta salad – mixed with oil. I took that idea and ran with it. Here are the tasty results!
Funky Buddha Chicken
Marinate in Ziploc bag:
2# Chicken – your choice skin on/off bone in/out tenders/thighs – it’s all good
3/4 – 1 Cup Mae Ploy Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Toasted Sesame Oil
Let marinate at least an hour or over night. Drain and RESERVE marinade and grill up the chicken.
Boil off a Pound of Pasta – your choice.
While that’s cooking – In a small saucepan simmer the reserved marinade for 5 minutes.
Mix with cooked pasta and top with
2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds - Black are pretty.

I can’t belive there is only 6 ingredients involved in this recipe. It sounds so simple and delicious!
What are the other applications for this sauce?
By the way, thanks for finding me through Foodbuzz!

Hey Kitchen M ~
In Thailand they use it as a condiment. I’ve also used it on bone-in chicken on the grill – just have to be careful because that sugar will burn.
