Cashew Chicken Stir fry | Kukskitchen

Following on with the Indo-chinese theme, I present to yoou my version of a spicy cashew chicken. This recipe makes one fine chicken curry which has so much flavour it goes with anything at all. When I made it first, it became an instant hit with all. I actually use the same marinade to start most of my chicken recipes. I have a batch marinating in my fridge while I type. Try this and I'm sure your loved ones will devour this recipe as much as mine do.



A few things before we start:

• I use chicken thigh fillets. I feel they have more texture and flavour as opposed to breast pieces.
• I marinate the chicken pieces and leave them over night in refrigerator.
