Method
- Cut chicken into medium size chunks about 50g each. Place into a medium size mixing bowl and coat with Thai seasoning. Coat a roasting bag with plain flour then place chicken into bag.
- Place wine, lime juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar and red curry paste into same bowl. Cut lemon grass into thin slices, add to bowl. Whisk ingredients together then pour into bag.
- Coat chicken well with sauce then seal bag. Place bag onto a large plate and refrigerate for 4-8 hours. Occasionally move ingredients around in bag so chicken pieces are coated well.Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.
- Place bag onto a baking tray then prick 5-6 holes in the top of the bag then place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Empty contents of bag into a large saucepan. Combine cornflour with evaporated milk, skim milk and essence then add to saucepan. Stir continually until boiled. Reduce to a very low heat to allow sauce to thicken for 5 minutes (do not have bubbling) as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled.
NOTE: Serve with Basmati rice or noodles (for a lower carb count use glass noodles). Not included in nutritional information below.
