Are you fond of a spicy dish? If so, get ready to be blown by my spicy chili chicken recipe. It's a bit sweet, a lot of spicy and full of yummy! I promise this is another quick and easy home-cooking recipe.
This spicy chili chicken recipe is inspired by S.R. Thai Cuisine, a humble food joint located in one of the small streets in Dapitan, Sampaloc, Manila. S.R. resides very near my university. Back in the day, I used to go to there when I was missing home-cooked meals. My favorites on the menu are their beef oyster sauce and chicken oyster sauce. Ahh... those were the simpler times!
It has been years since the hubby and I both had their chicken oyster sauce; so I made up my own chili chicken recipe. It was not the same as SR's; but it was still good!
Here's how I did it.
Ingredients in cooking spicy chili chicken (thai-style) recipe:
- Garlic, crushed and chopped

See the chili paste on the photo? I bought that from an authentic Thai restaurant here in Bangkok. It's a powerful (powerful!!) stuff. Put just a small amount first and move your way up in seasoning your chili chicken.
