Hello Kristen,
I cannot find any recipes at all for "evil jungle chicken", just a few
menu entries. However, after comparing the ingredients, I believe that
"evil jungle chicken" is just another name for a Thai dish that is
translated literally as "evil jungle prince". Below is a recipe for
"evil jungle prince with chicken". It also includes a variation with
vegetables rather than chicken.

Evil Jungle Prince With Chicken
Prep Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 10 min
Yield: Makes 3-4 Servings
Ingredients:
1/2 lb boneless chicken breast (or 1/2 lb mixed vegetables, see note below)
2-6 small red chile peppers
1/2 stalk fresh lemon grass
2 kaffir lime leaves
2 T oil
1/2 c coconut milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 to 4 T fish sauce, based on personal taste (omit for veggie version)
10 to 15 basil leaves
1 c chopped cabbage
Directions:
Thinly cut chicken into 2-inch strips. (If doing veggie version, cut
vegetables into thin strips.) Grind together red chili peppers, lemon
grass, and kaffir lime leaves in a food processor or pound in a mortar.
Heat oil to medium-high and saute pepper mixture for 3 minutes. Stir in
coconut milk and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken (or vegetables) and
cook for 5 minutes or until cooked (same time for veggies). Reduce heat
to medium-low. Stir in fish sauce (if using), salt, and basil. Serve
on a bed of chopped cabbage.
Note:
-----
For mixed vegetables, choose from among bell peppers, string beans,
water chestnuts, tomatoes (small cherry tomatoes are best), bamboo
shoots, miniature corn, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini, Japanese
eggplant, and mushrooms. I particularly like string beans or asparagus,
a few cherry tomatoes, shredded (rather than sliced) bamboo shoots,
miniature corn, and some straw mushrooms or slender (Japanese) eggplant.

A reader sent this recipe:
Hi,
I worked at Kmart for 16 years and 8 of those were in their cafeteria
before they closed and put in Little Caeser's. We made bbq beef sandwiches
that were delicious. I bet they were the same as the Kresge's. I can't
remember exact amounts but we used a large restaurant size can of corned
beef and put it in a large mixer with a large can of tomato puree and a
large can of Open Pit bbq sauce and let it all mix up, then just heated it
up on the stove as needed. It was really good.
