Thai Fried Chicken (Gai Tod)
Serves 4
Ingredients
Method
1 lb Chicken Pieces
4 Garlic, Minced
1 tbsp Fish Sauce
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp White Pepper
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Coriander Seeds, Crushed
1 cu Rice Flour
Vegetable Oil For Frying
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, white pepper, turmeric, and coriander seeds. Add the chicken pieces and rub the marinade all over them. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Coat each marinated chicken piece in rice flour, then deep-fry in the hot oil until golden brown and fully cooked.
Drain the fried chicken on paper towels before serving. It's typically served with a side of sweet chili sauce and sticky rice.
