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 (enough to deep fry, 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 by combining coconut milk, curry powder, garlic, ginger, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight if possible).
  2. Mix rice flour (or cornstarch) with salt and pepper on a plate. Dredge marinated chicken in this mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Drain on paper towels.
  4. While frying, mix Thai chili sauce with mayonnaise or yogurt to create the spicy sauce.
  5. Assemble sandwiches by spreading sauce on toasted buns and layering with fried chicken and desired toppings like cucumber slices and fresh herbs.
