Thai Style Fried Chicken

Ingredients 

6 chicken thighs and legs 

Batter

6-7 large cloves garlic

4-5 spring onions

Handful coriander

1 tsp Rajah black pepper

1 tsp Rajah white pepper

1.5 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp fried shallots

3 Tbsp fish sauce

5 Tbsp water

7 Tbsp rice flour

1 Tbsp cornflour

Oil for deep frying 

Grind the batter ingredients together in a pestle and mortar. Then tip into a bowl before adding the flours and water. 

Slice into the chicken to create pockets for the flavour to penetrate into the meat. Then place the chicken into the batter and mix well. 

Fill the wok halfway up with oil and get it up to a  medium to high heat. When you place a wooden chopstick into the wok the oil should bubble up around the chopstick. 

Now place the chicken in one piece at a time. Don’t overcrowd the wok, allow the chicken space to crisp up. Once the chicken is in, leave it to fry for 30 seconds, before moving it at all. After a minute turn the heat down to medium and allow the chicken to cook through for at least 12-15 minutes. Serve straight away. Enjoy!
