Grandma’s Epic Twice-Cooked Chicken Recipe ไก่เค็ม – Hot Thai Kitchen!

Not only is this one of my all-time favourite chicken dishes, it’s also one of the most meaningful. My grandmother makes this for me every time I go to Thailand—a non-negotiable tradition. Usually the chicken she uses is the leftover from Hainanese Chicken Rice (link to that video below), but you can make it directly by simply poaching up some chicken first as shown in this video. OR actually, you should intentionally too much Hainanese chicken rice, and get 2 epic meals out of it!

The chicken is twice cooked, and tossed with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and palm sugar for a sweet-salty-umami flavour that is unparallelled simplicity. The kids will love it, and for the adults, make the spicy-tart dipping sauce and it’s a flavour explosion in your mouth! Poach the chicken in advance, keep it in the fridge, and dinner will be ready in just a few minutes!
