Description
A delightful fusion of crispy fried chicken with Thai flavors, topped with zesty slaw and sauces, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped Thai basil
- 1 lime, juiced
- Chili, to taste
- Your favorite burger buns
- Spicy mayo or sriracha for drizzling
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken. Mix coconut milk with garlic, ginger, salt, and fish sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken, cover it, and let it soak for at least an hour—overnight is even better if you have time!
- Prepare the breading station using rice flour and cornstarch in one shallow dish and a beaten egg in another.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, aiming for about 350°F for frying.
- Coat each piece of chicken in the egg, followed by the flour mixture, pressing the coating against the chicken.
- Fry the chicken in batches, about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, mix your slaw with cabbage, carrots, lime juice, fish sauce, and herbs.
- Assemble the sandwich with the bun, crispy chicken, and slaw, and drizzle spicy mayo or sriracha on top!
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp. Adjust spice levels to your preference.
