Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup rice flour or cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup Thai chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pickled carrots, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 4 soft buns or brioche buns, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix coconut milk, curry powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and sugar. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for best flavor).
  2. Prepare the coating: On a plate, combine rice flour (or cornstarch) with salt and pepper. Dredge marinated chicken in the mixture.
  3. Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry coated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  4. Make the sauce: Whisk together Thai chili sauce and mayonnaise (or yogurt) until smooth.
  5. Assemble sandwiches: Spread chili mayo on toasted buns; layer crispy chicken with vegetables and fresh herbs.
