Tom Yum Fried Chicken by Jimmy’s Table
I love making fried chicken. I love eating fried chicken. I was craving fried chicken while making Thai food and thought, "why not make a Thai style fried chicken?" Rachel and I loved eating fried chicken off the streets of Bangkok, so I decided to give it a shot. This was my first attempt and it was a success, as I stuck to the basics of marinating and deep frying. For this recipe, I marinated the chicken in Tom Yum paste to give it that sweet, sour and spicy flavor. It worked perfectly as the meat absorbed all the flavors and the crispy skin and batter on the outside gave it the tasty deep fried crunch. I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Finishing Ingredients:
Thai Sauce Ingredients (食材):
*Video how to make in Thai Pomelo Salad Recipe
1/4 cup Fish Sauce (魚露)
1/4 cup Vinegar (白醋)
1/4 cup Sugar (糖)
1/4 cup Garlic (大蒜) - minced
2 Spicy Red Chilis (小辣椒) - minced
3 Limes (檸檬) - halved and squeezed for juice, seeds removed
Toppings:
1/4 cup deep fried shallots (炸紅蔥頭)
1/4 cup deep fried garlic (炸大蒜)
STEP 1
Make marinade. Add in 4-5 tablespoons of Tom Yum Paste into a bowl. Because the paste is thick, slowly add in boiling hot water to dissolve the paste into a thicker fluid. If you add too much, it will get too watery and reduce the flavor of the paste. Stir until even.
步驟1
製作醃雞肉的醬汁。將4-5湯匙冬陰功醬放入一個碗中。由於糊狀物很稠，所以緩慢加入沸騰的熱水將醬汁來溶解。如添加過多，它會變得太水並減少醬汁的風味。攪拌至均勻。
STEP 2
Marinade the chicken by adding in the marinade sauce. Turn the chicken so that it is evenly coated.
步驟2
將雞肉浸泡至冬蔭功醬汁中，並讓雞肉完全被醬汁包覆著。
STEP 3
Once coated, put the chicken into a ziplock bag and put into the refrigerator overnight to seal in the flavors. When ready to fry, be sure to let the chicken rest on the table until it reaches room temperature. You don’t want to deep fry a cold chicken leg or it will definitely be raw inside.
步驟3
將雞肉裹完醬汁之後，雞肉連同醬汁一同放入夾鏈袋中，放到冰箱醃製過隔夜。如果你要炸雞時，必需確保從冰箱拿出來的雞肉已經完全退冰至常溫，你不會想要油炸完一隻雞腿而裡面是生的肉。
STEP 4
If you want to make it for the same day, then marinade it for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour and leave it on the table in room temperature to try to absorb as much flavor as possible.
步驟4
如果你要在當天油炸這炸雞，則將雞肉在常溫中醃製至少30分至1小時，讓雞肉能吸收足夠醬汁味道。
STEP 5
Make the deep frying mix by adding about 3 cups of flour into a large mixing bowl. Then add in about 3 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of cayenne chili powder, 1 tablespoon of white pepper, 3 teaspoons of salt. Stir evenly.
步驟5
製作炸粉。將3大杯麵粉放入大盆中，加入3湯匙的大蒜粉、1湯匙的黑胡椒粉、2湯匙的洋蔥粉、1湯匙的辣椒粉、1湯匙白胡椒粉、3茶匙的鹽巴，攪拌均勻。
STEP 6
Make buttermilk mix. Add in 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a large bowl. Whisk together and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
步驟6
製作白脫鮮乳。在碗中加入1杯牛奶以及1湯匙的白醋，攪拌均勻放置5-10分鐘，讓醋跟牛奶發生化學反應，就完成了。
STEP 7
Now we are ready to deep fry. Start by heating a pot of peanut oil. Peanut oil has a higher heat and smoke point, and it tastes great and is healthier than many other oils.
步驟7
現在我們準備油炸。 首先加熱一鍋花生油。 花生油的發熱量和冒煙點更高，而且比許多其他油都味道更香，更健康。
[TIP] Not mentioned in the video, but a good tip to fry the chicken faster and more evenly, is to take a chopstick and poke 15-20 times into the chicken meat before you soak it into the milk vinegar.
STEP 8
Add and coat the marinaded chicken into the milk vinegar mix. Then remove and place the chicken into the deep fry flour mix. Coat generously and evenly so the entire chicken is covered in the flour mix.
步驟8
將醃好雞肉先放入自製的牛奶白醋中，沾裹一圈後，再放入炸粉的盆中，沾裹一圈，將炸粉完全的包裹住雞肉。
STEP 9
Carefully add the chicken into the hot oil. Be careful as the oil can pop and burn you. Lower the heat so that you can slowly fry the chicken without burning the outside. If your pot is big enough, you can deep fry more than one drumstick at a time.
小心把雞肉加入熱油中因為油會彈出。 若鍋足夠大，則可一次油炸多個雞腿。
STEP 10
Deep fry for about 10 minutes and then measure the meat temperature. If the chicken is over 80 degrees Celcius, then remove and rest on some paper towels to absorb the oils. If you don’t have a thermometer, use a chopstick and stick it in the thickest part of the meat. If the chopstick goes in and out easily, then it is ready.
步驟10
炸約10分鐘，然後測量肉的溫度。 如果雞肉超過攝氏80度，可以取出並放在一些紙巾上吸收油脂。 如果沒有溫度計，用筷子將其粘在最厚的肉上。 如果筷子插進去並且輕鬆，就好了。
STEP 11
Plate by pouring thai fish sauce (instructions video can be found in my first pomelo salad recipe) and then sprinkling on deep fried shallots and garlic.
步驟11
最後擺盤，淋上泰式魚露醬汁(在我第一部影片柚子沙拉的料理有食譜喔！)接著撒上炸紅蔥頭以及炸大蒜，就完成摟！
