Description

This Thai Fried Chicken Sandwich combines crispy fried chicken thighs marinated in Thai red curry paste, served on a toasted brioche bun with a zesty Thai slaw. A flavorful and satisfying meal with a touch of heat and crunch.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Breading:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil, enough for deep frying

For the Thai Slaw:

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For Serving:

  • 2 brioche buns
  • Mayonnaise or sriracha mayo
  • Optional cucumber slices and pickled onions

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, red curry paste, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and white pepper. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry chicken thighs for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  4. Make the Slaw: Toss cabbage, carrots, cilantro, lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast brioche buns, spread with mayo, add fried chicken, slaw, and desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

  • To make it spicier, add chili oil or sriracha to the slaw.
  • Chicken breasts can be used but may need to be pounded thin for even cooking.
