Thai Fried Chicken | Gai Tod | ไก่ทอด

Step 1

Fill a large pot or wok with canola oil about 3/4 inch deep. Turn the heat on to medium-high and allow the oil to heat up while preparing the chicken.

Step 2

Place your chicken wings in a bowl and rinse thoroughly with running water. Pour off any remaining water. Add the fish sauce. Using a fork, poke the chicken wings to allow the fish sauce to permeate the skin. Set aside to prepare the batter.

Step 3

Combine all dry ingredients for the batter (Gogi flour, rice flour, salt, baking soda), then add water. Mix until the batter is smooth without lumps.

Step 4

Once your oil is ready for frying, coat your marinated chicken wings with the batter and place in the hot oil. Allow to fry for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the outside is a crisp golden brown. Take the chicken wings out and place on a paper towel lined plate.

Step 5

Serve with a side of cucumber slices and chicken dipping sauce. Enjoy!
