Fire Chicken- All Phases

 

We love spicy, of all kinds. This chicken has SO much flavor. You can buy the Korean red pepper, Gochugaru at Asian markets or check my post for links to Product I Love, here.

If you are in maintenance or not following FMD strictly, you can add some Gochujang to the mix- it is a fermented red pepper paste. It really adds a depth of flavor but the Fire Chicken is great without it. 

Feel free to adjust the gochugaru- add more for more heat. You can cook this stovetop or on the grill, or in a crockpot. Very versatile. 

Fire Chicken

All Phases (see mods)

Makes 4 standard servings

1lb chicken breast (all phases) or chicken thigh (p3)

2T Gochugaru

2T Vegan Butter (see my recipe) (P3 only)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2T tamari

2T Gochujang (optional for maintenance or non FMD folk)

 

If you are grilling, mix everything but the chicken together in a small saucepan. Add a couple tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring. Set aside half the sauce. Grill chicken and brush mixture on, the last 5 minutes of cooking. Toss the chicken in remaining sauce.

If you are cooking in a crockpot- mix everything but the chicken together in the crock pot. Add 1/4 cup water or stock. Add chicken, and stir. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 (depending on the size of your chicken pieces)

For stovetop- cut chicken into bite size pieces. Cook in the vegan butter (p3 only) for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, a splash of water and finish cooking. Serve immediately.
