This dish combines three really big hitters in terms of flavours – garlic, coriander root and sriracha. The chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces for really speedy cooking, with some crispy fried garlic added for an extra flavour punch at the end.

Thai Fried Garlic Chicken

PREP TIME

COOK TIME

SERVES

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves

4 coriander roots

2 tsp white peppercorns

1 tsp sea salt

400g (14 oz) chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

½ tsp sugar

vegetable oil for deep frying

coriander leaves, to serve

Coconut Sriracha, to serve

 

Crispy garlic:

1 head garlic

Steps
  • Step 1

    Use a mortar and pestle to lightly pound the garlic cloves. Remove and discard the garlic skins. To the garlic, add the coriander roots, peppercorns and salt. Pound to a rough paste. Place the paste in a large bowl along with the chicken, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sugar.

  • Step 2

    Fill a saucepan or wok to about 1/3 capacity with the vegetable oil. Heat over high heat. The oil is hot enough to fry at 165°C/325°F or when a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms small little bubbles.

  • Step 3

    When the oil is hot, cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain.

  • Step 4

    Use a slotted spoon to clean up the oil. Pound the head of garlic in a mortar and pestle so it’s roughly bruised. Fry in the oil until golden. Remove garlic and transfer to kitchen paper to drain.

  • Step 5

    To serve, transfer the fried chicken to a serving plate. Sprinkle with fried garlic and top with coriander leaves. Serve with coconut sriracha.

Amazing and flavorful

I made this recipe for the first time and it was so delicious because it was full of flavor, yet simple to make. I am not familiar with all of these spices used together, so now I’m looking forward to more recipes similar to this.
