"This is made using one and a half amounts of my #recipe26 or even better, instead of the extra half of my sauce recipe, prepare only one recipe of my sauce and combine it with half a 375 mL bottle of purchased Thai Sweet & Spicy Sauce, I purchase mine at M&M's and for those living in Canada you will know that store name, but that sauce is readily available anywhere, the sauce is similar in color and texture to my Chinese Sweet and Sour Sauce, but beware the Thai sauce is quite spicy and shouldn't be served to kids! Surprisingly this goes really great with homemade mac and cheese, but cooked white rice works good also. This is a very easy recipe to make but there are three separate steps, making the sauce, browning the chicken and sauteeing the onion and bell pepper. If your thighs are smaller you can fit twelve in the pan or you can reduce amount if you like. My photo shows the chicken before oven cooking. This is really good!!"
