Ingredients: 

Chicken Marinade

• 4-6 chicken drum sticks 

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tbsp oyster sauce 

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp paprika

• 1 tbsp chicken bullion

• Salt and pepper, to taste

For Soup

• Cooked Noodles of your choice (I used Thai egg noodles, ramen noodles work be great too)

• 3 shallots, diced

• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut oil)

• 1 jar (about 4 ounces) red curry paste

• 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk

• 1 can (14 ounces) chicken stock

• 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon lime zest

• 2 tbsp sugar

• Salt and pepper, to taste

For Serving

• Fresh cilantro

• Thai chili peppers, sliced (optional, for heat)

• Lime wedges

Method

1. In a bowl, combine all your spices and feel free to add any spices you like. Coat the drumsticks very well with this marinade and let sit for about 10 minutes.

2.    Get an air fryer to 375°F (190°C). You can also use and over as well but it will take longer. Place the marinated drumsticks in the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes. Then Baste with any remaining marinade during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized. I’m telling you you will love this marinade. 

3.    In a large pot or deep pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add your diced shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened or flaccid. 

4.   Add the entire jar of red curry paste to the pan, stirring constantly, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant and you smell like the curry paste.

5.    Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine with the curry paste. This is my favorite part of the recipe

6.    Add the can of chicken stock, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime zest. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it simmer and bubble like a jacuzzi for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to hang out together. Season with salt and pepper to taste if you need to. 

7.    Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

8.    To serve, Ladle the hot curry broth over the noodles, Make it look SEXY. Top each bowl with sliced honey garlic chicken, cilantro, sliced shallots, and Thai chili peppers if you need it a lil spicier. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup just before eating.
