Lime & Lemongrass Fried Chicken

This recipe uses a marinade and seasoned flour packet available in Thailand, Lobo brand. This may be available in the US/Canada in Asian markets or through Amazon. This seasoning pack has no added MSG or preservatives, and is very reasonable priced, just under $1 per packet (30 Baht). This has a little heat to it as this does contain Thai chili powder, in the marinade and seasoned flour, but excellent flavor!

Ingredients

1 packet Lime & Lemongrass Seasoning, Lobo brand
1 kilo chicken pieces, wings, legs, thighs, breasts
cooking oil, as needed

Instructions

Here is what the packet looks like, there is two sections.
And separated, there is a serrated line to pull these apart, one for the marinade and one for the flour mixture.
Mix the Marinade labeled pouch with 1/4 cup of water in large mixing bowl.
Add the chicken and mix them with the marinade, place in the fridge for st least 2 hours, and overnight is preferred. I used 4 thighs that was 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.)
When you are ready to cook, open the Flour packet and place in a shallow bowl. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and coat the chicken pieces well with the flour mixture.
Heat cooking oil in a pan or pot, you can deep fry or shallow fry, when the oil is hot but not smoking, add the chicken pieces.
Allow to fry until golden brown, about 12 minutes for large pieces, 7 minutes for small pieces. If shallow frying, when golden brown on the brown on the bottom, turn and cook the other side. I shallow fried the thighs, and they were large so I cut the largest one open and had to continue cooking for a few more minutes on each side.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with sides of your choice.
