Tips to make the perfect red curry chicken :

  • Although you can buy Thai red curry paste at the store, we definitely recommend making your own. It is pretty simple and worth it for the added flavour (and cooking fun)!
  • Serve this curry in sweet little bowls. Serving in a bowl ups the cozy factor of this recipe even more.

During our honeymoon, Hugo and I visited Thailand. It was such an incredible trip and if you haven’t been there yet, we definitely recommend you add it to your list. One of the things we still laugh about today from our trip was the night market in Bangkok and what weave while we were there. The most unusual thing we feasted on was a grilled grass hopper! What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten? We want to hear in the comments below! ↓

Add your own twist to this red curry chicken :

  • Switch out the chicken for shrimp.
  • Replace the chicken with salmon to make a red curry salmon dinner.
  • Make this recipe vegan by taking out the chicken and adding lots of veggies. A great vegan combo is tofu, broccoli and red pepper.
  • Instead of using homemade red curry, you could make a homemade green curry or yellow (Massaman) curry.

We recommend using a spice mortar to grind your spices. We love this black marble spice pestle & mortar.

We used this shrimp paste in this recipe. If you can’t find it in your local grocery store, you can easily order it on Amazon.

Organic bird’s eye chilies add that special something to this recipe.

We used our Le Creuset wok in cerise red. (This is one of our favorite kitchen items and we use it for a lot of the recipes on this site, such as this !)

Red curry chicken wine pairing :

We highly recommend a full bodied Merlot to go with this Thai red curry chicken, such as this Altos de San Esteban La Perra Gorda 2015 (Spain).

    I think I still have store-bought red curry paste at home, but I’d definitely try the homemade one. This looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing! x

    I love, love, LOVE curries, but I’m always in a hurry…so I’ve been guilty of using tinned curry paste. You’ve inspired me to make my own. Thank you! I guess it’s high time. ;-P

    Apart from the paste, this dish is very similar to a green curry I make—I also go back and forth between chicken and shrimp. I can’t wait to try your red curry!
