I'm marinating the chicken now and plan to use the chicken like a Buffalo-style chicken sandwich, only without the frying. Perhaps my favorite part of the video was seeing the chicken being marinated in a leftover carry-out container rather than a plastic bag that will need to be thrown out. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest impact.

This recipe is fantastic! I used Frank’s, and we’ve now had this for dinner twice this week. I didn’t make any dipping sauce, because the chicken was so flavorful on its own. This recipe is a definite keeper!

Simple and delicious. I used gochujang sauce in the recommended hot sauce quantities for a heat that was perfect for my family's tastes. I might reduce by half, particularly for the dipping sauce, if serving to folks not as heat loving as we.

Do you think this would work as a marinade in a sous vide cooker, as in: marinade in bag, cook with marinade, then remove excess and finish on cast iron or grill?

I don't see why not! I'm not very sous vide–versed, but would love to hear how it goes if you give it a try.

Mine came out fine after sous vide with the marinade in the bag. My homemade mayo broke at some point in the cooking, which was pretty unappetizing, but the chicken tasted fine after grilling.

Delicious and so easy! One of the tastiest recipes with so little effort. I don’t have a grill so I sautéed the chicken in a cast iron skillet. I scraped off most of the marinade but the small remnants gave the chicken a lovely rosy hot sauce colored hue.
I served with roasted rainbow carrots and Brussels sprouts- the sweet savory caramelization of the veggies was a perfect compliment to the creamy spicy chicken. Thank you Emma for an outstanding recipe!

Just a reminder: Please do not use the mayo/hot sauce marinade as any part of your dipping/dunking sauce! There are marinades that have touched raw poultry or pork that can be safely heated to the proper temp to serve double duty as dipping sauces, but I doubt anyone can pull that off with a mayo-based marinade.

I happen to like the taste of tamarind. The 2 most well known products are HP Brown Sauce and Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce. Both are becoming difficult to find . Yes I have put them on chicken.

You're in luck. All sizes of HP-B on Amazon, even by the gallon, and probably same for L&PW. As much as i love these two, the one I really crave with tamarind is Pick-a-pepper Sauce - haven't looked on A. yet, next order.
