Thai Chicken Recipes

Thai cooking chases the balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet in every dish — fresh, aromatic and unafraid of chilli. When Thai cooks work with chicken, they reach for fish sauce, lime, lemongrass, galangal, Thai chilli and palm sugar, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are frying, simmering, stir-frying and boiling.
