Indonesian Lime and Wine Chicken Thighs

"This is a spicy but not too spicy recipe that is charged with flavor. You can increase or decrease the heat by adding more or taking away some of the chile flakes. Do not be put off by a seeminly long list of ingredients most are part of the spice mix and I'll bet you have them already at home. If you want your chicken to stay crisp after cooking it just keep it hot in the oven. I like to return it to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes keeping the top side of the chicken above the sauce line. Serve with rice or noodles N.B. Panko is a product from Thailand."

  1. Flavorful, moist chicken and it is all done in one dish! The smell of the sauce while it was cooking is quite enticing. This dish has a fruity, sweet (but not too sweet) taste. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and some chili powder since I don't have (and couldn't find at the store) chili flakes. I was confused making the sauce since the ingredients list cardamom but is not in the instructions while the instructions say cloves that isn't in the ingredient list. Thanks for the flavorful recipe.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
