Steps

  1. 1

    Season and coat the chicken thighs with paprika. The source does not specify the amount of chicken, paprika, or additional seasoning quantities.

  2. 2

    Sear the coated chicken thighs until golden. The pan, heat level, cooking fat, and exact searing time are not specified.

  3. 3

    Sauté the ginger, shallot, and garlic as the aromatics for the braise.

  4. 4

    Add the coconut milk, chicken stock, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, and a little salt to make the braising sauce.

  5. 5

    Return the seared chicken thighs to the sauce and braise for about 10–12 minutes, until cooked through. The source does not provide a target internal temperature or detailed doneness cue.

  6. 6

    Do not cook lime slices in the sauce, as the source warns that they can make the sauce bitter.

  7. 7

    Prepare a quick-pickled, smashed cucumber salad to serve alongside the chicken. The source does not provide the pickling ingredients, quantities, or method.

  8. 8

    Serve the braised chicken with the cucumber salad on the side. Coriander and crispy chilli oil are shown in the source, but their exact finishing use is not specified.
