I tried this recipe and was little disappointed? Everyone said it was such and easy dish so I thought this would give me a break in the kitchen. I usually do recipes that are much more complicated. In the middle of heating my deep fryer went out and so I got my dutch oven and thermometer out. The chicken never really browned..it still had a white tint to it. The garlic mixture was dry? Was there anything wet that was supposed to be added that I missed? I didn't see the show it just looked good. I added more hot oil and sesame oil to the mixture or it wouldn't have attached to the chicken. It was no where near hot. I did use veg. oil instead of corn oil so that could have been a big mistake? Did everyone use corn oil? I will say this it had good flavor for what little amount got on the chicken and everyone said they liked it. I also added kosher salt to the recipe. Any sugesstions from anyone who had made this let me know. Thanks..I will def use corn oil next time.

This is a fabulous dish!! I wanted more heat so used the whole peppers instead of halves. This was served along with rice and beans, fresh green salad and a tall glass of sweet tea……..out of this word GOOD!!! : My guests insisted on leaving WITH the recipe.

I've made this recipe several times, and each time the girls rave about how good these are. It's an easy recipe that is so good.

I made this for dinner tonight using 2 cups of chicken tenders instead of a whole chicken. I didn't get to see the show, but found the recipe and it sounded like something I'd love. I figured I was making a quarter of the recipe, so I made half the garlic mixture, and served it over hot white rice. OMG, I could hardly stop eating! This dish rocks! A couple things I will do differently next time. Cut the tenders in half or even thirds. And, if you really like "hot and garlic", then double the garlic mixture. With 2 cups of tenders, I wish I had made the whole "garlic mixture". Can't imagine that going over a whole chicken.( But, I'm sure this was made for the general public to enjoy. I used 2 eggs whites to dip the chicken, and that was more than enough. I can't wait till tomorrow so I can enjoy the leftovers! Highly recommend this dish : .

and I could eat just about everything else. So here's the inside skinny on the recipes from an employee I was talking to at my first trip this past weekend. Order Pollo Diablo and ask for the red jade sauce (shown on tv first with the ketchup and dip it! Very yummy! Love this place and so glad I moved to Phoenix!

I watched this show today and thought it was amazing! To answer your question Rhonda, Eve Collins of Chino Bandido actually featured two different chicken recipes. The one that you reference about the tomato sauce was the first feature and I believe it is called "Jade Red Chicken." The recipe posted here (Pollo Diablo was the second feature. I don't have any measurements, but if I recall correctly, these are the ingredients she used:

In a large Wok heat the following ingredients:
Sesame Oil
Red Chili Oil
Tomato Sauce
Garlic
Powdered Confectioners Sugar
Green Onion
*Reduce Sauce Mixture

The frying process for the chicken is the same for the Pollo Diablo and the Jade Red Chicken.

I haven't tried either as of yet, but anxious to do so. Hope this helps!

I'm wondering if this is the same because on the show doesn't she start the sauce by adding tomato sauce to a wok full of oil? then add all of the garlic mixture? I don't see any tomato sauce listed here (am I blind? Hmmm...the dish on the show looked Fabulous!! and I am totally thrilled to see a recipe here, but...thinking this might not be the same. anyone try this? next time I'm in phoenix, I'm so going to this place! thanks Guy for featuring it. :

I had this item at the restaurant. It was so good I could not stop eating it. It was definitely the hottest thing on the menu but the flavor was incredible....
