Hi there. Love your recipes nd videos! I am needing gluten free and have nit worked with rice flour before. Can you suggest a brand of rice flour and storage suggestions?

If you already have a video or link, that would be perfect!

Many thanks in advance!
Sandy

this looks super amazing but to be perfectly honest, deep frying in a wok sucks. Just buy a deep fryer and make life easier on yourself.

In reply to Kelly. Yes, but with much less frying time.

Can you make this recipe with boneless skinless chicken thighs?

Amazing fried chicken. My husband loves fried chicken, but I have never been satisfied with my results. On Father's day, I made this. Unbelievable. Like you said, it's about the chicken, not the crust. Even my son, who doesn't like chicken, at a thigh after his two hamburgers (boys have hollow legs). I think next time, I will explore adding some additional spices to the marinade. Wonderful recipe

I made these today and the flavour was beautiful! The most flavourful fried chicken I've ever eaten ^_^

The only time I could say with confidence, “this fried chicken is better than my grandmother’s”.

Absolutely delicious! The flavor was just right. The chicken was juicy. The skin was extra crispy.

I made this recipe a few times. It is very tasty but the deep frying process is time consuming. I am going to try grilling it over the bbq without the rice flour today. Should be wonderful.

This is good chicken! Easy, straight-forward recipe and the video is like having you in the kitchen showing me how. I rarely fry chicken but this was easy. It had not occurred to me to deep fry in my wok but this is the way to go - nearly no splatters to clean up. Served it with your corn cucumber salad (tum tang kao poad) and sticky rice (thanks to your "7 Ways to Make Sticky rice). A fun - and delicious meal. Thank you.

Thank you for the recipe as well as the in-depth video! To be honest, I have used 2 tbsp of grated ginger instead of cilantro (cilantro/coriander are on my personal blacklist as I hate the taste). The chicken drumsticks were so fragrant and tasty that this brine will always be my go-to marinade for years to come! 🙂

In reply to Pailin Chongchitnant. So good. I’ve had ไก่ทอดหาดใหญ่ all over Thailand (never in Hat Yai though). This is better than all I’ve had before. The brine/marinade minus the rice flour makes a terrific roast chicken too. 10/10

I just read your story. I later taught Thai in Bangkok (St Francis Xavier in Pakkred). But the amazing thing is that I live in Vancouver, BC. Too bad you didn't stay here.

I lived in Saiburi, Pattani for 14 years (in the 1970s) and had fried chicken in Hadyai many times. I am going to try this recipe and am positive it will be aroy maak!

In reply to Lushendran Govender. Oyster sauce isn't as salty as fish sauce, so I'd either use a little more oyster sauce or sub soy sauce instead.
