With my last visit to Yauatcha, I still have the Chinese food hangover and as it rightly said to get rid of any hangover you need to have another hangover, I made this Thai Style Chicken Cashew, which now me and “He” both are addicted to, we both love Thai food but this was a great change from mundane Thai curries, packed with punching flavors and so perfect for summer/monsoon lunch/dinner.

These days few professional assignments keep me away from kitchen and experimenting, but recently on a weekday last minute the photo shoot got cancelled and luckily “He” was at home that day, I wanted to prepare a special meal for us and it was time for me to try this new recipe, initially I was skeptical about the amount of sugar being used in the sauce but if you go through the recipe, you will notice there is quite a large amount of chilies used so the amount of sugar used is justified.

If you want to prepare a non-boozy version of this recipe, simply skip the glazing part, glazing pan with whiskey just helps to get that smoky flavor in the chicken, which simply finger licking good. I made this chicken with cilantro and lemon rice for the lunch but later realized this could be a great starter for the cocktail parties as well a side dish for a Chinese meal. I forgot to share this one quick secret, you can make the sauce in advance and store in fridge, I really love such recipes where part preparation can be done in advance as it saves lot of last minute hassle, also for the daily meals if the sauce if there in your pantry, you just need to slice chicken and vegetables and your super delicious meal is ready.
