Kai Tod (Thai Fried Chicken Wings Recipe)
Thai fried chicken wings recipe (kai tod) offers crispy wings, perfect as a quick and easy appetizer with a flavorful dipping sauce on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken wings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp flavor seasoning, see notes
- 1/2 tsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp tempura flour, see notes
- neutral oil, as needed for frying
Instructions
- Use a fork to score the chicken wings. This helps the seasoning penetrate for more flavor. Place them in a mixing bowl. Mix in salt, white sugar, white pepper, and flavor seasoning.
- Toss with tempura flour, coating each wing evenly. Let them rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to marinate.
- Take the wings out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Heat your oil to approximately 350°F (175°C) in preparation for frying. Fry the wings in the preheated oil until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Serve the wings hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Flavor seasoning: Rosdee flavor seasoning is a popular ingredient in Thai cooking. It's similar to chicken stock, like Knorr. You can find it at Asian grocery stores.
- Tempura flour: Tempura flour is a crispy coating for the wings. Unlike traditional flours, tempura flour is finely milled and sometimes contains leavening agents, which help achieve that signature crunch and golden color.
