Spicy Thai Chicken is a bold and flavorful stir-fry dish featuring tender chicken cooked with garlic, chilies, and a savory, spicy-sweet Thai-inspired sauce. It’s quick, vibrant, and perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 fresh Thai chilies, chopped (or 1 tsp red chili flakes, adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 green onions or a handful of Thai basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. If using bell peppers, add them and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat evenly.
  7. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions or Thai basil. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust chili quantity to control spice level.
  • Substitute tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari and gluten-free sauces.

  • Serve with jasmine rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps.
