This is a spicy but not too spicy recipe that is charged with flavor. You can increase or decrease the heat by adding more or taking away some of the chile flakes. Do not be put off by a seeminly long list of ingredients most are part of the spice mix and I'll bet you have them already at home. If you want your chicken to stay crisp after cooking it just keep it hot in the oven. I like to return it to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes keeping the top side of the chicken above the sauce line. Serve with rice or noodles N.B. Panko is a product from Thailand. Ingredients:
1/2 cup white wine, halved (some for the raisins & some for the sauce) |
4 tablespoons dark raisins |
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in half through the center |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons water |
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (panko are better and what i use) or 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko are better and what i use) |

1 1/2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped |
2 teaspoons lime zest |

1/4 teaspoon cardamom |
1/2 teaspoon coriander |
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |

2 tablespoons lime juice |
Directions:
1. Pour 1/4 cup of wine over the raisins to plump them.
2. Whisk the egg and water together.

4. Dip the cut thighs first in the egg mixture then the crumbs making sure they are well coated, dip twice if necessary.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet, turn heat to medium and slowly fry the chicken until golden on both side apprx 7 minutes per side - do not burn.
6. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
7. In the same pan saute the onions for 5 minutes, add tomatoes continue cooking for a further 5 minutes.
