Move over prosciutto wrapped chicken breasts!
After the whole world heard how Prince Harry proposed over a roast chicken that Meghan Markle made, roast chicken seems like the quintessential easy date night recipe! (Regardless of how you feel about them personally!)
If you're tired of the usual Sunday roast, try this flavorful Korean recipe. Economical too as the bones can be made into chicken broth and leftover meat can be used to make a chicken porridge or 1 of these leftover chicken recipes!
Serve it with some Asian potatoes or 1 of these Korean banchan recipes! And since it's a date, how can we say no to the alcohol? Homemade makgeolli or homemade plum wine will definitely knock his or her socks off!
Stir Fry
Vietnamese-inspired Lemongrass Chicken
This Vietnamese chicken recipe is SO quick to cook- under 20 minutes- which gives you more time to get ready for your date!
Gochujang Chicken
Thai Basil Chicken
Soy Sauce
This one pan or rather one pot recipe is, in my opinion, great for a lovely date night dinner as it's mostly passive cooking. So you can busy yourself with your hair and make-up whilst the chicken simmers all on its own!
If your partner is a huge meat eater, you can pair it with Char Siu or these Chinese steamed bao which can serve as chicken "hamburger" buns!
Braised and Poached
Easy Chicken Thighs
This recipe is so easy, it works even for a dates scheduled as a busy weeknight dinner!
If you don't want to deal with bones on date night- not too romantic, after all- substitute with chicken breasts and keep an eye on the fire so that they don't overcook and dry out!
Tip: remember to cook over medium heat or even medium-low heat!
Hoisin Chicken
Baked
Teriyaki Chicken Thigh
This Japanese dish can be done in 3 ways! Make extra of the sweet and savory sauce and spoon it over pan fried salmon or tofu! Include some of these Japanese sides to make it a complete meal, and maybe end with some lychee konnyaku jelly?
Stew
Curry
The creamy sauce is so delicious, and keeps well. In fact, some people think it tastes better the next day! Extra can be kept for a pasta recipe.
Sambal
I highly recommend making your own sambal oelek as it's so simple.
Extras can be made into these spicy sambal recipes. Or, if you can't get it, here are the best sambal alternatives.
