SLOW-COOKER THAI PEANUT CHICKEN



Slow-Cooker Thai Peanut Chicken image

Combining sweet, savory and spicy flavors, it's no wonder Thai Peanut Chicken is a take-out favorite. But here's a secret: It doesn't have to come from a take-out box to turn out delicious. You, or rather your slow cooker, can do this dinner at home. Thai cooking is all about combining bright, bold ingredients to create big flavor. Here's how that works in this recipe. First, simply choosing chicken thighs will start you off in the right direction. Thighs have more fat and turn out tender (not dry) when slow cooked. Second, dredging your thighs in flour and then browning, before slow cooking, develops the flavor of the meat and helps the sauce turn out thick and velvety. Combining standard ingredients-your jar of peanut butter and bottle of Worcestershire-with a few more specialized, but still widely available, ingredients-curry paste (more on that below), coconut milk and fresh ginger-allows you to build the flavor you know and love. Finally, letting all these elements stew together in the slow cooker over low heat melds them together, so you end up with a perfectly balanced and fully flavored dinner.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well in this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: Make sure to leave enough space in the slow cooker for the chicken and sauce to circulate. Overcrowding can prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use Low and Slow: Cooking the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours will give you tender, fall-apart chicken.
  • Add Vegetables: Feel free to add vegetables to the slow cooker along with the chicken. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: This Thai chicken dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it over a bed of lettuce or cabbage.

Conclusion:

This slow-cook Thai chicken recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic Thai dish. The chicken comes out tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy.
