Chopped up thighs and mixed in a lil rice wine and cornstarch. Fired the large to temp unknown and away we go 


Chicken goes in for a quick cook 

Chicken comes out so the garlic,onions and birdseye chilis can get happy 


Chicken goes back in to finish cooking 


Then the sauce mixture of oyster sauce,soy sauce, dark soy,fish sauce and a touch of sugar goes in.  Let the sauce go for a bit 
then add the Thai Basil and Mint leaves 


Let’s eat!  The flavors were amazing and will be done again since we have an abundance of Thai Basil and Mint in the herb garden 


Thanks for looking.

    Looks beautiful!  I’m sure that was delicious.  Wok recommendation for large BGE?  I have the same spider.

    You're making it happen lately. I can tell from the pics and the wisps of steam that you had your wok rippin' hot. Nice cook.
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    I have the 16” carbon steel with D handles from CGS. I had to season it myself not sure how they come now.  I know @Mickey speaks highly of the Wok Shop.  Maybe he can give some details

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
