CHICKEN WITH SWEET CHILI SAUCE
Yes, what else...another recipe using Mae Ploy's sweet chili sauce. This is a stovetop recipe, but am certain grilling would be wonderful. Should you want a superior sauce even to Mae Ploy's, see recipe #457035.

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and garlic. Pour 1/2 cup (half the mixture) into a small plastic food storage zip bag. Add chicken and turn to coat; refrigerate and marinade 30 minutes.
- To a skillet, add a tablespoon or two of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and brown on one side for about 2-3 minutes (it may smoke a little from the sweet marinade). Turn the chicken over and brown for 2 minutes longer. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and let it finish cooking for about 8 minutes.
- Place remaining chili sauce and soy sauce mixture in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve over chicken.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Ground chicken can also be used, but it will result in a less tender cake.
- Make sure the chicken is finely chopped. This will help the cakes to hold together better.
- Add aromatics. To add flavor to the cakes, add aromatics such as garlic, ginger, and lemongrass.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. Thai cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some good options include cilantro, basil, kaffir lime leaves, and curry powder.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the cakes with a dipping sauce. A sweet chili sauce is a popular choice, but you can also use a peanut sauce or a cucumber-based sauce.
Conclusion:
Thai chicken cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a little planning, you can have these tasty cakes on the table in no time.
