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.
