  • For sauce:
  • 2 table spoon Thai chilli paste
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce ( I've used mushroom based oyster sauce )
  • 1 table spoon light soy sauce
  • 1 table spoon fish sauce
  • 2 table spoon vinegar
  • 3 table spoon water
  • 2 table spoon sugar ( I've used sugar molasses)
  • 1 clove of garlic ( optional, since there is garlic in chilli paste )
  • 1 table spoon chilli flakes ( adjust the heat to your taste )
  • 3 kafir lime leaves chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
  • In a sauce pan add all the ingredients except the kafir lime leaves and lime juice and cook in low fire for 5 mts.
  • Reduce it to a consistency which is thicker than the final.
  • Remove from stove and add lime leaves and lime juice.
  • Mix well and keep it aside till serving.
  • For frying:
  • ¾ cup plain flour
  • 2 table spoon corn flour
Instructions
  1. Mix these two ingredients and spread on a flat bowl / plate.
  2. Add the marinated chicken pieces along with any slurry to the flour mix.
  3. Slowly coat the chicken with the flour. Make sure that the chicken is completely coated with the flour.
  4. Shake off the excess and keep it in a bowl.
  5. Heat the oil for deep frying which is enough for the chicken pieces to swim around.
  6. Once the oil is hot reduce the heat to medium low and tart frying the chicken pieces. Make sure not to over crowd the chicken pieces in the oil.
  7. Fry the chicken on both sides and when its golden brown take out and drain in a kitchen towel.
  8. Serving :
  9. In a large bowl place the fried chicken and enough sauce to coat the chicken. If you want you can add all the prepared sauce to the chicken.
  10. Here I've added only 3 table spoon of prepared sauce. The left over sauce can be kept in the fridge or can be served as side.
  11. You can even serve the fried chicken and the sauce separately.
  12. Enjoy with cooked rice or in a wrap !
