What is Lulu’s Thai Chili Sauce?
Our friends at Veteran’s Community Project (VCP) got together with some culinary experts to create a classic sweet, sour and spicy sauce that can do almost anything with a little Asian flair. It has a complex, but familiar flavor that elevates any dish, and of course has that Thai spice that people crave. It’s especially great on chicken as a thick finishing sauce, makes a great dipping sauce for appetizers or even a salad dressing!

Lulu’s Thai Chili Glazed Chicken Breasts Cooking Instructions
Remove chilled chicken breasts from refrigerator about an hour before cooking
If the skin-on chicken breasts are bone in, you can choose to leave in or take out. It will not make a difference with the flavor.
Salt each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Use ½ teaspoon of Hungarian paprika equally divided on each side of each chicken breast.
Lightly cover the chicken on both sides with your chosen poultry rub.
Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes.
Stove/Oven cooking instructions
Lightly coat the bottom of the cast iron skillet with cooking oil.
Set a burner to medium high until the oil starts to smoke a little.
Place the breasts, skin side up, in the skillet for two to three minutes, then place the skillet on the middle rack in a cold oven and turn the oven to broil.
At 15 minutes pull the skillet out of the oven and check the internal temperature of the breasts. They should read no higher than 158F.
Take the breasts out of the oven and immediately use a spoon or pastry brush to glaze the breasts with Lulu’s Thai sauce.
Cover your skillet and let the breasts rest for 7 or 8 minutes.
Smoker/Grill cooking instructions
Put your lightly coated skillet into your grill or smoker and set the target temperature to 225F.
Once your grill or smoker reads the target temperature as stable for a few minutes, place the breasts, skin side up, in the skillet.
Continue to grill or smoke the chicken breasts in the skillet until your instant read probe thermometer reads 135F in the thickest part of the meat.
Take the skillet out of your grill or smoker and put into a cold oven set to broil (usually around 500F).
As the chicken broils in the skillet, check the internal temperatures of the breasts every few minutes until they reach 158F – 165F.
Spoon or brush Lulu’s Thai Chili sauce over the top and cover for another 7 to 8 minutes.
Serve hot with sides of more Lulu’s Thai sauce and enjoy!
Chicken breasts glazed with Lulu’s Thai Chili sauce taste great plain, but will obviously taste wonderful with certain vegetables added, such as green onion, bean sprouts, thin sliced carrots and peppers, or even over a bed of rice.
