Thai-Style Fried Chicken

THAI-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN

Serves 4 to 6

Boneless chicken breasts can be substituted for the chicken thighs; halve the breasts horizontally before slicing them crosswise into 1-inch-thick strips. Use a Dutch oven that holds 6 quarts or more for this recipe. We developed this recipe using Bob’s Red Mill Stone Ground White Rice Flour.

3½ tablespoons fish sauce, divided
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce, divided
7 garlic cloves, minced, divided
2½ teaspoons white pepper, divided
1½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, divided
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and sliced crosswise into 1-inch-thick strips
