A quick and crispy Thai fried chicken sandwich that combines bold flavors and textures, perfect for busy weeknights.

  • Total Time: 250 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess buttermilk drip off. Coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing the flour into the chicken to ensure a crispy coating.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying for 7-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the chicken is frying, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha hot sauce in a small bowl to create a spicy mayo.
  7. Toast the brioche buns until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the sandwich: spread the spicy mayo on the top and bottom of each bun. Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom bun, followed by shredded lettuce and sliced pickles. Add the top bun.
  9. Serve the sandwiches hot, with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing of flavor.

Notes

Marinate chicken the night before to reduce prep time. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
