FIREBIRD CHICKEN

Usually when I steal a dish from someone, I steal both the recipe and the name - but not this time. The original firebird chicken is actually a stir-fry dish, and quite a bit different from what you're seeing here. But I absolutely love the name and thought it would fit perfectly for this very simple, extremely spicy, and incredibly delicious dish. Serve with finely chopped fresh chives.

Time 2h30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 clove garlic, sliced
2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 large egg
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup rice flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, habanero peppers, and salt in a mortar and pestle and crush into a fine paste. Add Sriracha and egg and whisk to combine. Set aside until needed.
  • Pull or trim off the tenderloin from the breasts, and then slice each one in half lengthwise, cutting at a 45-degree angle to create two relatively equal pieces.
  • Place all 6 strips of chicken on a plate and dust generously on all sides with rice flour, making sure they are completely covered.
  • Pour over the pepper mixture and use tongs to make sure each piece of chicken is coated evenly with the mixture and that there are no dry spots. Wrap and marinate in the fridge for 2 to 12 hours.
  • Heat oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until well browned, and no longer pink in the centers, about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
