You’re amazing, look at the Drunken Noodles with Chicken dishes you’ve made…

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

There are a few different theories on how this Asian fusion dish came to have the name ‘Drunken Noodles’, but one is that they’re so spicy that you’d need quite a few drinks to quench your thirst whilst eating it!

Our Drunken Noodles with Chicken is a slightly milder take on the traditional dish, but still has all of the flavours that you’d expect. We’ve used some chilli flakes and a chopped red chilli to give this recipe a little bit of a spicy kick, but you can definitely use less if you prefer your food milder. Similarly, if you love your food with some fire behind it then you can double the amount of chilli flakes and add another chopped red chilli – leave the chilli seeds in for maximum spice!

These Drunken Noodles with Chicken are so quick and easy to prepare which makes them the perfect Fakeaway to enjoy at the weekend as you’re not spending hours in the kitchen – in fact, the whole dish takes just 30 minutes to prep and cook!
