Looking for a mouth-watering Thai fried chicken wings recipe? Look no further! Our peek gai tod recipe is sure to satisfy your cravings with its perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.

BEST EVER THAI FRIED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE | Peek Gai Tod | ปีกไก่ทอด

Ingredients:

1 kg (2 lbs) Chicken wings

2-3 Koriander roots

1 tbsp Thai small garlics

1/2 tbsp Blackpepper

2 tsp Salt

2 tbsp Chicken Seasoning Powder* (Non-MSG formula. If you use MSG formula, reduce the salt by half the portion)

2 tsp Palm sugar

1 cup Tempura batter flour

1/4 cup water

1 l (32 oz) Frying oil. The amount of oil needed varies depending on the type of pan you use. You should be able to submerge the chicken wings.

8-10 Kaffir lime leaves

Cooking Instructions:

To prepare Thai fried chicken wings, start by cleaning 1 kg of chicken wings in a mixing bowl.

Next, make a paste by roughly smashing 2-3 coriander roots, 1 tablespoon of Thai small garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper, and 2 teaspoons of salt.

Mix this paste with 2 tablespoons of chicken seasoning powder (non-MSG formula; if using MSG formula, reduce salt by half), 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, and 1 cup of tempura batter powder. Add this mixture to the chicken wings and mix well. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.

When ready to cook, take the chicken wings out of the refrigerator and let them rest while warming up 1 liter of frying oil to 160°C. Fry the chicken wings until they are crispy and light brown, adding in 8-10 kaffir lime leaves for a quick fry towards the end of cooking. Once done, remove the chicken wings from the oil and place them on kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.

To serve, plate the chicken wings and garnish with fried kaffir lime leaves. These wings can be enjoyed as a snack with a sauce of your choice, such as Sriracha or sweet chili chicken sauce, or served with hot steamed rice as a meal.

*I often use Ajinomoto (brand) Ros Dee Chicken flavor seasoning powder

Pork floss & Chili paste on Toast

Pork Floss is beef jerky's flamboyant Asian cousin. It looks like someone threw a pig into a cotton candy machine, but it tastes like sweet, porky heaven. In the Thai kitchen Pork Floss is like pork flavored fairy dust.

This may be quick and delicious but it is not very healthy - Pork Floss is highly processed so make sure not to make it a habit, the same goes for most white bread so always compensate by eating fruits and other healthy foods to make up for indulging in quick carbs and fast-food.

Pork floss aka ròusõng, rousong, pork sung, yuk sung, meat wool, meat floss and abon is a dried meat product created by cooking pork shoulder in soy sauce and sugar, and then shredding it until it takes on a fine texture. Other flavorings like garlic, onion and oyster sauce are sometimes added while the mixture is being dry fried.

It takes five pounds of lean pork to produce one pound of Pork Floss so store bought is far more practical and less expensive than making it yourself.

Please note that you need Thai Chili paste for this toast - NOT Thai curry paste.

Various brands of Pork Floss are available in your local Asian store

You can put this on any bread or Toast
