The Spicy Thai Chicken recipe is simple to produce but taste amazing. Served as a side dish with Mee Grob and Pad Thai is a winner every time. The Thai stir fry sauce used in this recipe is like an all purpose Thai sauce. It’s a versatile base and it’s fabulous also with pork and turkey, ground/mince meat or even beef cut into bite size pieces. It can even be used for noodles. This recipe is a keeper for Thai food lovers. If you love Thai dishes then check out our Thai Chicken Wings and Thai Rice Soup. Both of these are excellent on their own and better together.
