While I was clearing up some of my belongings today I found an oily piece of paper with a recipe written on it. You might have smelt and eaten this at the roadside stalls and fell in love with it. You might have smelt and seen this but decided not to try it for health and safety reasons but dying to know what it tastes like. Good news to everyone as I'm about to share with you a delicious fried chicken recipe given to me by a very generous fried chicken vendor in Phuket, Thailand many years back. I became friendly with the vendor after many visits and once he found out my late grandfather hailed from the same province as his, he gave me the recipe on my last day there. Before you read on, you have to promise not to set up a fried chicken stall in Phuket! This is delicious as a beer snack as part of your Thai meal.
P.S Use any cut of chicken of your choice, serve with sweet chili sauce or my favourite Thai dipping sauce, click HERE.
