Ingredients
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Flatten chicken breast, marinate with a little fish sauce (instead of soy sauce), garlic, and lemon juice (to boost Thai flavor).
- Dip heavily in wet batter to create a thick crust and deep-fry crunchy at high heat (so it won't get soggy with sauce).
- Make special 'Tai Shi Suan La Jiang'. Mix commercial sweet chili sauce with fresh lemon juice, chopped raw chilies, and a little fish sauce to sharpen the tartness and heat.
- Cut the freshly fried chicken into a bowl, pour the sauce generously over it. Finish with fresh cilantro and sliced red onions.
