Fried chicken is a common street food in thailand, eaten as both a finger food and main course dish. Unlike western-style fried chicken, where the coating is thick and tasty while the chicken beneath can be bland, thai fried chicken features a crisp coating with a flavor that reaches deep into the meat. It's the special marinade paste that does the trick, a wonderful concoction of thai herbs and spices. Great as a party finger food, or anytime you want to make dinner into a special treatsimply pair with thai sweet chili sauce for dipping.
