Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut in half horizontally for faster cooking.
  • 1 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk mixed with vinegar or lemon juice.
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste Adjust quantity for desired spiciness.

Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sandwich Assembly

  • 4 pieces burger buns Toasted.
  • Lettuce leaves Fresh and crispy.
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Pickled cucumbers
  • Thai sweet chili sauce Drizzle generously.
  • Mayonnaise mixed with lime juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to make them thinner for faster cooking.
  • In a bowl, mix buttermilk with Thai red curry paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to tenderize.
  • In another bowl, mix flour and cornstarch. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, letting the extra buttermilk drip off.
  • Press each chicken piece into the flour mixture firmly, ensuring even coverage.

Cooking

  • Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pan using a thermometer.
  • Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F for safety.
  • Once fried, remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  • Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
  • Spread lime mayo on the bottom bun, then add fresh lettuce and tomato slices.
  • Place the crispy fried chicken on top, drizzle with Thai sweet chili sauce, and add pickled cucumbers.
  • Put the top bun on and serve.

Notes

Marinating the chicken longer enhances flavor and tenderness. Ensure oil is hot enough for best crispiness. Experiment with toppings like avocado or spicy slaw.
