  • Step 3: Cook the Chicken
    To fry chicken in a large skillet, pour either olive or vegetable oil and warm it on medium to high heat. For the chicken parts, once it’s golden brown and well cooked, it’s best to take them out of the pan and set aside. This process of cooking should take 5- 7 minutes.
  • Step 4: Add Sauce to the Pan
    The step that comes next is placing the peanut sauce in the same fryer when the heat gets reduced to medium and chicken is already fried. The peanut chicken when combined with other ingredients takes 2- 3 minutes of constant stirring to thicken and give off aromatic scents.
  • Step 5: Combine Chicken and Sauce
    Once the chicken gets a chance to cool, put it back in the pan and whisk it with the sauce. After that, allow it to cook on low for an additional three to five minutes so the tastes mix perfectly.
  • Step 6: Serve with Final Touches
    Finally, add extra lime juice or chili flakes to taste and serve the Thai Peanut Chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables and sprinkle some cilantro, green onions, and peanuts on top for extra taste. By following the steps helps you achieve not only well-cooked chicken, but also smooth, thick sauce on every single piece.
