Thai-style chicken is a vivid example of how surprisingly you can change the taste of a familiar product with the help of skillfully combined seasonings. Indeed, one of the fundamental principles of Thai cuisine is the combination of all kinds of tastes in one dish, including those opposite to each other.

3) In a pan, bring the vegetable oil (preferably olive oil) to the beginning of the boil, and then put the pieces of chicken fillet into it, which had already been soaked in the sauce. * The remaining sauce after marinating the meat does not need to pour, we still need it later.

“Flexibility” of Thai cuisine - a couple of tips
In Thai, and indeed in Asian cuisine, it is not necessary to adhere to strict rules in cooking, for example, lemon can be replaced with lime, flour should be used instead of starch, and the recipe can be diversified by adding tomatoes or even pineapples. But replacing one product with another, one should remember about the principle of mixing different tastes in one dish. This does not mean that sweet, spicy and salty should be combined in equal proportions.
In some recipes, burning notes may prevail, in others - salty or sour-sweet. The main thing is that the finished Asian dish should be a composition that, if possible, will satisfy your taste.
