This is Crispy Thai Fried Chicken just like from street vendors. It does features a crispy thin coating, moist and juicy with a flavor that reaches deep into the meat unlike those fried chicken with thick coating flours.
Best eaten by itself or simply pair with Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping..🤭😋👍💞
