I learned how to cook Thai food from my beautiful Thai mother. She passed & whenever I need a refresher on a certain dish I always come to you.

I just returned from Thailand. I am a fried chicken fiend and I'll say the Thai fried chicken was the most stunning thing I ate in country. I noticed there are KFC's in Thailand and I cannot imagine how they stay in business when street vendor fried chicken is so easy to get. Nothing comes close to Thai fried chicken. Not Southern fried chicken or Cajun blackened chicken. Not my own mother's fried chicken. It is amazing and I can't wait to watch the rest of your video to find out the secrets to try out myself.

Bold and bullshit comment there pal. Might as well say the presence of an aircraft carrier doesn't prevent conflict. Seems like you are starting one here. It's Thailand. It's hot there. You sweat out, everyday, for 1000's of years. Been there too, multiple times over 30 years. Of course the chicken is lighter... like all their food. It has to be that way just like everywhere else in southeast Asia. Climate dictates dishes. It's why Yakuts and Alaskan natives eat raw seal meat. They need that fat to survive. The Asians avoid it, it increases blood pressure, early death, costs more. In the south (where i am typing this) we eat it heavy cause it tastes better that way. We keep the decision making at the human level. If i'm wrong then so be it. Answer me a question though--how many Thai franchises are there worldwide selling chicken? If Thai chicken is good which it looks to be then noone is capitalizing on it why? I'm asking you.

@@wesleygary6651 " lighter... like all their food." what do you mean? LOL, we put lots of chili in our foods. yes, we have some that's not spicy, but a lot of people still order Stir-fried pork with basil because it is dead-tired thinking "what i want to eat today?". most of the street food that sell cooked to order food, with cooked stir-fired pork they will put some chili in it. Also, Thai people have a problem about kidney disease from eating to must salty food. It's not from the seller who selling food but from the person who ordered the food put a lot of fish sauce in their food to make it taste more richer. yes, Thailand it's hot but we still eat food that's hot too. and for the answer Thai chicken is a hidden chicken no one care because it is chicken that deep fried. it looks like everyone can do it everywhere. the thing that Hat Yai's fried chicken is the best is the taste, the juicy, and crunchy. it is better than KFC and also Burger King that sell Hat Yai style. why not try yourself then asking the question? all you need is follow the video she made and that's is. You will see why most of the Thai restaurant not sell Hat Yia style but for my answer it is because even in Thailand, if you want to sell Hat Yai's fried chicken you need to sell only chicken. I don't know that its call, but it is like you selling donuts like Dunking Donuts that is what I'm trying to say but don't know what its call.

That looks amazing. My chicken in the fridge just just had a change of heart and is going from Portuguese to Thai!

Sorry for the long comment. Hi. I came across your video regarding Thai grocery stores and was intrigued since I was just at a small Asian market for the first time. Have been learning differences between Thai and Chinese food and like to purchase proper ingredients. Your video was very informative and was appreciative about your comments as to WHY choose some items over others. So since you seem to be very knowledgeable on the subject, I decided to check out your KZread channel. Have only seen one video (fried chicken) and was very impressed with your knowledge and presentation. I believe it’s the little things that separate the pros from the home cook and I always strive to get near the pros. Some of your tips were tremendous. I.E. - cutting the slit near the bone…oil in wok still sizzling due to chicken being poked by meat probe…wanting the 375* oil temp and the temp will drop when adding chicken and want around 300* (and you noted that your temp wasn’t quite there so you added another chicken piece). But you explained WHY the 300* temp and how to achieve it. Many many cooks just dump the chicken in and tell you to bring it back to the 350* temp. AND the comment about lower temp due to marinade having sugar and could burn at higher temps. Brilliant, would never have thought about that. AND the comment on why get chicken at 175* and not 165*…. Personally I have had many thighs register 165*-170* and couldn’t figure out why bone meat is pink… I can’t wait to try this recipe. I could go on but comment is long enough. Just wanted to say thanks for the videos and will be following and trying your recipes.

Heh... you said exactly what I was thinking 😹 I learn so much with each video! The scoring, oil temp management & cooking slightly higher for bone in chicken are all new to me. I don't mind the pink around the bone, but I would rather eat every little bit & a if a little longer in the oil makes that happen, that's what I'll do!

Dear Pai, I wanted to share with you that I made your HatYai fried chicken recipe in my Air-fryer. It came out really nice. My Thai husband really enjoyed it. I only made the chicken middles but next time I’ll make legs and thighs. I marinated it for 6 hours. Delicious flavor. Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing your recipe.

When I studied in Bangkok years ago I would walk home over the bridge at Chao Praya and there was this small food stall serving only big pieces of fried chicken. So tasty!

Finally have this recipe! When I was training in BKK a food stall near my apartment has the best kao pad (recipe of which I also have gotten from you) and one of my fave things to pair it with is the fried chicken! It comes of course with the Thai chili sauce. Yum! Excited to try this. Getting me some Thai ingredients.

Hi Pailin, tried out your Thai fried chicken recipe tonight and it turned out exactly the way you described, tasted amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

It is as amazing as you say. Flavourful and juicy with a nice crunchy crust. The fried shallots are a sweet treat. We deboned chicken thighs for the dish and they cooked much faster to get to 175 in 375 oil. This will become a go-to dish for us. Thanks very much for the wonderful Thai recipes you show.

I just made some fried chicken but used a cast iron skillet. I know she uses a wok in this video, but trust me, a cast iron skillet will help you easily maintain your oil temperature. TIP, Make sure you let the oil SLOWLY come to temperature. An easy way to check your oil temp is buy a thermal thermometer. You just point the laser and instantly get the oil temp😊

I also like the idea of the point and read thermometer. I have been making a lot of Mexican food lately and some of the 'Taquito' style recipes need a light frying in a little oil. I use my wok for this as it is near perfect. I use the wood chopstick technique for temp measurement, but I think a thermometer would be easier and more accurate.

@@brianpage1886 I think they're called instant read thermometers & it's been a game changer for me. One thing I didn't expect to use it for is preparing Yerba Mate. I had to switch from coffee & I'm in LOOOOOOVE with Yerba Mate! Cleaner energy and zero crash. The thing is, if you brew it too hot, it's super bitter & this turns many people off right from the start. I've been drinking it for 2 weeks & only had 1 sip of bitter & that was right at the beginning. Since then, is more like a hearty hay, slightly savory borderline sweet taste that I love. But using water over 185º is a no-no. So I use a thermos, pour in the boiling water & add lukewarm water until I'm right at the exact point I need. And checking meat is so much quicker & simpler. And if you do get in to Yerba Mate, buy in bulk wholesale. I got 6 kilos for $75. It would have been less, but I got several organic & "fancy" brands to compare. That's last me at least 6 months & compared to buying coffee at a coffee shop (not that I would) it's literally hundreds of dollars less 😸 I also found a pretty inexpensive one at Wal-Mart that folds so the pointy part isn't always out & uses a AAA battery, which I just use a rechargeable so basically I'll never have to buy a battery for it. It might have been $20, but I've found buying the better item 1 time is way better than buying the cheap item 3+ times, especially if its an every day or every week item. Also of note... the cast iron wok is crazy heavy. I know, obviously... but just something to keep in mind. I hadn't actually thought of how heavy it would be, but it just makes it a tiny bit more awkward to clean if it gets really messy 😹 I hope some of this helps, I can't believe how much I've learned just messaging back & forth with people on YT comments section 😻

I assume you're talking about fast food fried chicken, and I can slightly explain it. It's faster to not marinate it overnight, and they only really care about making money quickly from it. There's also a risk of having too much or too little chicken. If it's too much, then they would have to throw it out and lose money. If it's too little, then they'll have to close up and lose money. It's pretty sad, ngl.

@@GavinPetty them too, but i meant just what i said. people seem to miss the point that dumping the spices into the coating does not mean that those flavors get into the chicken. this is why the first bite of so much fried chicken is super-tasty when you've got a mouthful of crust in the mix, but a second bite in the same spot is bland. i just googled "fried chicken recipe" and looked at the first five results. four of them (from professional food sites and cookbook author bloggers) start with unseasoned chicken being dredged in seasoned flour and fried. it is incredibly underwhelming.

Jamaican fried chicken is also flavoured to the bone . Just like the Thai we seasoned meats a day ahead, of course we use different seasoning but is we are influenced by the African, Indian and Chinese mostly cook culture and cuisine.

My mom is from Thailand and my dad is from America and when we go back to Thailand I will say the fried chicken is the best. My grandpa and I would walk the little food/market place outside where people are selling their own creations and the food is amazing ❤❤

You just blew my mind. I'm so going to make this. The batter from the marinade, genius. Fried shallots , yes please. Just found your channel subscribed.

Great skill, well explained, lots of enthusiasm, thanks so much for sharing!

As Thai, I can guarantee that this is one of the best fried chicken styles in our country. Must try.

I live in The USA. We have Thai people. They open Thai restaurants. Never, ever, is the food from a Thai restaurant, as good as what this Aunty makes on KZread. Maybe you should move here, and sell Thai chicken. If you make it this good, then you will be rich.

I loved how you gave the tips on cutting the meat around the bone for easier cook and frying with the correct temperature to keep the chicken cook but not burn or under cook. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, it seems delicious. I will try to make one this weekend.

This is THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN I've ever had and made!! Thank you so much for the recipe!!

I never used cilantro before, just cause it's hard to find where I'm from. I opened a bag of fresh cilantro, and it smelled like stink bugs to me, and I was a little hesitant to use it. But I did it as you asked and combined all these stinky ingredients in the mortar and pestle. I put my finger on it, against my instincts, and tasted it and WOW. I haven't quite tasted anything like this before. What a surprising flavor. It's like fragrant and funky at the same time, and you're right about the sugar bringing it all together.

Cilantro ( corriander as Aussies call it) is my favourite green vegetable. Looking forwards to trying this dish.

Thai food uses a lot of stinky things that smell so good after cook. like if you pour fish sauce directly on the hot pan it's will very fragrant.

I don't know if all the fried chicken I've had in Thailand is any variation of Hat Yai fried chicken but to be honest it's one of the best I've ever had. Super crunchy, packed with flavors and the super long 'hhhmmmmm' sound that comes when you've found good food. Unbeatable!

If it has fried shallot, it is Hat-Yai fried chicken. But some shop use fried garlic (popular one before Hat-Yai chicken coming from southern area) instead and it is also very tasty!

The look of it when you take it out of the Wok and the sound of it when you bite into it, I gotta make me some of that soon! Thanks for showing me how.

Thank you for sharing this recipe it looks amazing! I can't wait to make it!❤❤🔥🔥

I made this today with some sticky rice and broccoli stir fry and it was delicious. Using the brine as the batter is just brilliant because it preserves all the flavour. Next time I will add more flour since I think I made it way too runny. It was delish

Thanks for the recipe. My husband loved the chicken. I asked him if he wanted any rice and he said no, I smiled and told him he'll be eating rice no matter what (the rice flour). He doesn't like plain white rice, it has to be fried or smothered in some kind of sauce/gravy to eat rice.

That looked absolutely delicious 👏 thank you for sharing 💞

Malaysia is just next to Hatyai.. one of my fav place to go for holiday... Miss that Hatyai Fried Chicken

You are not wrong. Aside from the gorgeous Thai people, the food culture is one of the things I miss most about living in Thailand. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.

I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing!!

My mother used to make a very similar version of fried chicken that i grew up eating, except the marinade contained ginger and garlic paste and a fair bit of red pepper. And she added chickpea flour to the marinade to make the better. Ive had hat yai fried chicken many times. And i must admit, it comes second to what i grew up eating.

Hat Yai Fried Chicken is my absolute favorite. Walking to the market, the smell of chicken flew by. It was outstanding and unique.😋😋😋😋

Hi Palin, thanks for taking the time to fully explain why this is a great technique for the best dark meat fried chicken. I’m going to try all thighs and take the bone out, cut them in half. I didn’t realize our chickens were so much bigger than Thai ones, in fact I’ve thought how much smaller our chickens were getting. Steve MB.

Our chickens are much smaller nowadays because they tend to be multipurpose birds, not the big meat birds you used to get from the butchers shop.

okay, we rave about our southern fried chicken, and it is good. Your Thai fried chicken looks delicious, I will be giving it a try. Thank you for sharing.

i want to like this video multiple times!! thank you so much for sharing, Pai.

im half thai and growing up, out of all the yummy Thai and Appalachian food I got, one of my favorite meals was fried chicken, sticky rice, runny egg, and fish sauce :)
