Thai Pandan Chicken

PREP TIME

COOK TIME

SERVES
4 as an appetiser
Ingredients

500g (1 lb) chicken thigh or breast fillets, cut into 20 bite-sized pieces

20 pandan leaves*

20 toothpicks

vegetable oil for deep frying

 

Marinade:

6 garlic cloves

1 tsp whole white peppercorns

3 tbsp oyster sauce

½ tsp white sugar

 

Dipping sauce:

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sweet dark soy sauce

¼ cup white sugar

¼ cup water

Steps
  • Step 1

    To make the marinade, use a mortar and pestle to pound the garlic and peppercorns to a rough paste. Mix the paste with the oyster sauce and sugar. Add the marinade to the chicken and mix until well combined. Wrap each piece of chicken with a pandan leaf. Secure with a toothpick. Chicken can be marinated and wrapped up to a day in advance.

  • Step 2

    To make the dipping sauce, combine the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Pour into a small serving bowl (sauce will thicken more as it cools).

  • Step 3

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

  • Step 4

    Fry the chicken pieces in batches in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes or until dark golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel and serve with the dipping sauce.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – Pick up fresh pandan leaves from your Asian supermarket
