The night markets in Taipei make for exciting wandering and shopping, as stalls replace cars for a few hours each evening, and locals and tourists alike can browse for wares and a mobile dinner. The pungent yet delicious smell of Taiwanese condiments are inescapable, and “spicy pot” is my favorite sauce. Vendors simmer various meats in it until the meat falls from the bone, and it’s fun to look for treasures while eating spicy chicken from a paper container.

Simply sautee chicken wings and drumsticks in a skillet with peanut oil until done and the skin is browned. Add some chopped red pepper and parsley, and dollop three good tablespoons of spicy pot sauce into the pan and simmer an additional thirty minutes. That’s all there is to it – the sauce does all the work. Taiwanese spicy pot sauce is readily available in oriental grocery stores.
