Yes, I should think so! You could either make it ahead of time and then gently reheat it just before serving (perhaps with an extra splash of chicken stock so it’s not too thick). Or you could prepare it up until just before adding the chicken: let the sauce cool and refrigerate, then before serving cook as instructed 😊
This recipe looks so good, can’t wait to make it tomorrow! Do you cut the chicken into slices or dices before poaching? Or will that impact the cooking time. It looks like it’s cut up in your photo but not sure in the recipe. Thank you!
Making this for our Friday night special meal. As two humans running often in opposite directions during the work week - Friday Saturday and Sunday we make special meals to slow down and meet in the middle. I want to make all these meals -
At its most basic, chilli oil is quite literally chilli infused oil, but the one I'm referring to here is a Chinese-style chilli oil. There are lots of different types/brands and any will work. You should be able to find some in the world cuisine aisle of your supermarket
Loved it!😄 I couldn’t find lime leaves either but was still delicious. I was nervous about poaching the chicken, it seemed like it was bubbling too much on the lowest heat, but it turned out really good.
They’re quite hard to substitute because the flavour is so unique, but you can use the zest of 1 lime - it won’t taste the same, but it’ll still be delicious! ☺️
Thank you!! Surprisingly enough, a lovely woman cut off a leaf from her tree for me at the market, just one though, so I’ll do one leaf and some lime zest to make up for it. I’ve made so many of your recipes and have yet to be disappointed!!!
Yes! I added a teaspoon but having retested it after filming, I didn't think it needed it (but if you'd like it a little sweeter, by all means go for it!)
So excited to try this! Would this be a good make ahead recipe? Hoping to try it for a dinner party next week 🤔

Ah I’m sorry I missed this! I cut the chicken up after cooking not before - just for presentation purposes ☺️
Thank you for your response Zena!
Of course!
Made this, soooo tasty. Added some mushrooms as well
Yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This was sooo delicious. My daughter said it’s the yummiest sauce I have ever made.
Omg yay, I'm so happy to hear it!!

What is “chilli oil”? And where do I find it?

I downloaded substack just for this recipe and it was well worth it!! Incredible!
Ahh thank you! I’m so, so glad you enjoyed it!
any opinions skin off vs on for the chicken? very excited to make this!
I like using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this but you could absolutely use skin on (I just personally don’t like soggy chicken skin 😂)
made this the other night and can say hands down the best !!!! will 100% be in rotation forever
This makes me SO happy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Made it, it was sooooo delicious: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yaay I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

Hi! Is there any substitute for the lime leaves? Can’t find them anywhere

I found a jar in my local butchers. The brand is Thai taste, they’re already chopped and in water etc. taste delish! Xxx

Aw bless her, that’s so kind!! Ok perfect ☺️ and omg yay, I’m so happy to hear it! I hope this one doesn’t disappoint!!
I tried it. It's so good ❤️
Yay, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
YUM! Thank you
My pleasure :)
It looks like you added brown sugar in the video but I don’t see sugar in the recipe. How much sugar did you add?
Yes! I added a teaspoon but having retested it after filming, I didn't think it needed it (but if you'd like it a little sweeter, by all means go for it!)
Thank you! I made it and it was awesome!
Yay, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
