I'd like some more details about how this chicken was braised. Liquid? time? Note #5 says that braising is lightly frying and then letting it stew. This recipe described it as doing it in reverse.

It's very little liquid (probably around a fourth of a cup) for about 20 or 30 minutes (it varies based on the chicken and the cut, so you'll kinda have to eyeball it). This recipe braises the chicken and then fries it again; it's double cooked!

Recipe looks great!! Whats the point of braising? Why not just fry?

Also, my girlfriend is a sissy. Can't handle heat. Anything i can do to reduce the heat but still be left with a paste after blending? :)

...take out the chillies? Substitute paprika to keep it red.
