Thai style coconut chicken is one of my all time favorites, as I am a lover of Asian food, especially Thai food. The coconut cream makes the recipe creamy and rich, the spices are perfect, the chicken is tender, the veggies are tender crisp, and the chilies give the dish that wonderful heat. Combine all of this and it is a dish that is simply to die for.
Of course you can alter things according to your liking. For example, If you want more garlic, ginger, or shallots, by all means do so. If you want the dish hotter, add more chilies or sriracha. It is totally your call.
