Awesome chicken Sambel Olek Marinade

Found this on the cover of Bon Appetite magazine long time ago.  My wife's favorite chicken recipe.

Fish sauce causes this to smell up the house, but it tastes great.  I don't do skewers.  Too much work.  I double the recipe and perfect for 3 to 4 pounds of chicken thighs.  This picture is Costco organic chicken thighs last night.  Oh my!

If you like sweet hot Asian spices I highly recommend this recipe.  I just heat it and reduce it.  Marinate in gallon zip lock overnight.  Reserve about 1/2 cup of marinade for when chicken is resting after you pull it off.

Your welcome.

Yum. Reminds me, I have a jar of sambal olek at the back of one of my ingredient drawers. Will have to make it for myself, because my first use made my wife gasp from the heat.

this recipe is not that hot as listed.  I crank it up with a little extra sambel and siracha.

There are some thighs in the fridge that need a avenue to my belly. This may just be it!

Looks great!  I've recently discovered the sambal olek.  Great stuff.  It is also awesome on wokked green beans with a little oil and garlic.  Gonna hafta give your chicken a go.
