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

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 or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Coating: On a plate, combine rice flour or cornstarch with salt and pepper. Remove chicken from marinade; dredge in the dry mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F/74°C). Drain on paper towels.
  4. Make the Spicy Mayo: Whisk together Thai chili sauce and mayonnaise until smooth.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread spicy mayo on toasted buns. Layer with crispy chicken, pickled carrots, cucumber slices, and fresh herbs.
