How to Make Thai Fried Chicken
- Pound 4 cloves garlic, 1 inch piece of coriander root, and 1 teaspoon salt in a mortar and pestle until finely minced.
- Add 2-3 Thai chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 tablespoon Thai curry powder. Pound to a smooth paste.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces. Marinate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight in the refrigerator).
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and fry, undisturbed, until a golden-brown crust forms (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium. Stir-fry the chicken, breaking up any large clumps, until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).
- Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a spoonful of coconut milk (optional).
