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.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
