This is the most affirming video ever! Me and my girlfriend felt embarrassed by how many times we went to get these wings when we were in Thailand considering how many other amazing food options there are everywhere. But honestly, they are unreal. Thanks for the validation we will definitely be making these.
The Southeast Asian KFCs are very good in creating new flavoured products that would become national sensations such as in Thailand and also Malaysia. This recipe is so mouthwatering Pailin!
My wife grew up in Chiang Mai, Thailand (we're New Zealanders), she never stops talking about all the food she ate over there including and especially the KFC (and khao soi). I have gotten to make her so many of her childhood favs because of your channel! Thai KFC is definitely next on the list! 🥰
OMG- so many creative uses for this seasoning came to mind! Toss shrimp tempura, fried calamari, dust fresh popcorn, sprinkle a little on a fried egg that tops noodle or rice dishes. Making a batch today! Your channel always inspires!
I made this and I have to say…it’s now going to be a staple recipe in the family. I only made 5lbs of wings for my big family, thinking not everyone will eat it and they were gone 5mins after putting it on the table. Lol Thank you for the recipe!
I lived in Thailand for a short period of time 10 years ago and there was a KFC 2 minutes away from me. I was so addicted to these wings I had to physically slap myself out of it. At that time they came out with the new wing bucket and my obsession got even worse lol I tell everyone I know how good KFC is in Thailand. Been meaning to recreate this recipe so thank you so much. Sincerely. I can finally get my fix!
No way!!! After moving back to England from Thailand 4 years ago, I had basically resigned myself to the fact that I will never have these wings again until I go back to Thailand. Now I don't have to wait. Thank you so much! They are not the best wings in Thailand, they are simply the best wings. Keep doing what you do Pai, it's amazing for people like me who know what authentic Thai food tastes like but just can't get it in our own countries. I know this might not be classed as "authentic" but oh my Buddha does it make me think of Thailand. By the way, have you ever done a Hokkien Mee or Bai La recipe? I'd love to see how you would go about making them. Thanks again, all the best from The Lake District.
I loved this! Tasted closely like wing zabb at home! I just came back from Thailand after not seeing my family almost in 7 years. I'm autistic and often struggle to eat and remember my aunts and uncles would always buy/find a KFC near by for me when if I'm having a difficult day. It's such a warm memory to me, def when I'm feeling homesick
This was really good! Was not able to find lime juice powder, but dehydrated lime slices and used citric acid. Will make again, because I made too much magic dust :D
I tried this recipe and it tastes EXACTLY like our wing zap KFC in Thailand. I live in london and couldnt find lime powder. So we used Tajin instead cause it contains dehydrated lime. It work perfectly fine! Thanks Pailin
Swaddi Krub Khun Pai! Thank you very much for this recipe for I don’t intend to go to KFC any time soon, even in Thailand! Your fried chicken look so scrumptious and the background music makes me look forward to going back home in December!Yay!🎉
I love Zab wings at KFC, but they are a bit too spicy for me. I limit myself to just three. Having a recipe is nice so I could adjust the heat. I love the sour flavor, I think regular citric acid powder would work as a replacement for lime powder in case people cannot find it.
I was in Thailand in August and saw many KFC restaurants but didn't go in. I just happen to buy a bag of Yummy brand chicken wing powder from Mako and I'm so glad I did. It was a spontaneous buy but the seasoning powder was so good. So glad I bought it. Now I'll never run out because Pai shared it.
I'm a BC IPA full bodied beer fan, but was visiting friends in Bellingham WA this weekend, The gave me some Athletic 0% beer and I was truly impressed. Tons of flavour and you can work or drive afterwards. Nice that you picked them up as a sponsor Pai!
OMG I love these!!!! I have to get them every time I’m there. My last fill was August… and Im ready and waiting for my next in December!!! I hope they never stop selling these. Amazing!!! 😂
The closest thing that I can think of to it is nashville chicken, but the lime powder sets it apart. Would definitely like to try this! It looks delicious!
I have just read in the website recipe that the breading uses fish sauce as listed in your ingredients. However I could not see it used in the method. Is it used at all? Could you please clarify, Pailin? It's such a beautiful recipe and I would like to make it just the way you had.
Hi! If you check out the written recipe the fish sauce is used with the wings rather than being added to the powder (which has to remain a dry ingredient) - see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-24j7H2YBVUo.html . Cheers! Adam
This recipe sounds great! Can't wait to try it. Also, I live the Athletic Brewing beers. I found them a year or so ago. Live Upside Dawn, but the Cervesa Athletica is my favorite. They have great one ones that are online only, but my local Walmarts carry 2 or 3 varieties like Upside Dawn.
I've tried many Fried chicken recipes over time and all have been very disappointing, BUT I cooked your version yesterday, what can I say "exceptional" what a change, juicy, the right spice, flavour & crunch. Thanks heaps for sharing.
Saw in your grocery shopping video that you were Canadian. I’m from Alberta and adore Thai food, we have a restaurant here that sells cans of massaman and panang curry and it is amazing. Gave you a subscription so I can do some dishes on my own more in the future. Thank you
Thank you so much for this recipe, Pailin. I tried this recipe today, it was an instant hit. This is an amazing recipe. Thank you for bringing this recipe to us with your own version. Definitely recommend others to try this.
I’ve left Australia once to New Zealand … anyway I would not have known that that fast food chains are different in different countries if it wasn’t for this video and comments. That’s interesting to know and exciting. 😃😜😜 Thanks for this video, it’s on my to cook list now !! Yum 😋 😊
This looks like Thailand's answer to Nashville hot chicken (which can be tossed with the spices dry, or wet, which uses some of the cooking oil mixed with the spices to coat the chicken).
I find double frying works for me. 1st fry in 2 batches to cook the wings. You can literally crowd the pan with both batches after letting it sit for no more than 10 mins in the second fry and then toss in the seasonings. Then serve.
Yeah, I too find it best to double fry. First time I made this I crowded the fry and the wings stuck a lot. And I used a smallish cast iron pot indoor. But lately I've ignored the winter and used my outdoor wok for frying these, so much better. Even if I must dress in winter boots and use mittens to not freeze my fingers off :D
Can't wait to give your recipe a try! Fond memories of getting some of the extra-extra-hot wings at a Thai KFC ❤ ... the lady behind the counter asked me like 3 times if I was sure 😆 They were so good... me and my friends were almost crying 😅. Highly recommend getting some if you're not used to spicy food (yet) during a trip through Thailand🙃
Although your recipe is the true star of this video, I have to say I’m a True Lime fan too! I’ve been using it for years because access to *good* fresh limes is limited where I live. I love it in water (much more appealing than plain water 🤓) and pho. It’s way better than the bottled citrus liquids, and they also make lemon, orange, and grapefruit versions (in addition to fruity blends). Not affiliated 😂 just a fan of them and YOU!!
My wife and I just got back from Thailand. We went to a KFC in Bangkok (Silom area) and the chicken was incredible! Very different from the US. Very spicy. We later went to a KFC in Chiang Rai (Central Plaza) expecting the same experience, but the chicken there was just like KFCs in the US.
We were on holiday in Kuala Lumpur a few years ago. One evening after a few beers, we were walking home and felt hungry. The only place open was McDonalds. I never normally eat McDonalds, but needs must. I was extremely surprised to see them selling spicy coated chicken called Ayam Goreng. We live in the UK, McDonalds does not serve chicken here. The spicy chicken they served was some of the best chicken I have ever had, and I am a chicken nut. It was juicy, crispy and very spicy. If they sold that chicken here in the UK, they would put KFC out of business. Maybe you could look into Malaysian Ayam Goreng from McD's and try to create that. Thanks
Congratulations on a truly enjoyable channel Pailin. Your advice is always effective. However, if I may be so bold as to suggest: Mixing your dry ingredients and Chicken in a plastic bag. Shake, shake, pat, pat, and you won't feel as though your Airway's Mucosa has been stripped away. It is also possible to achieve a Deep-Fried effect with an Air Frier. I like to soak the chicken in Butter Milk for 4+ hours; Coat the chicken in Dry Mix with Panko Crumbs; Spray on Canola Oil and cook for about 15 mins at 190C. Hey presto. And it actually looks nice. Anyhow, keep up your good work. It's much appreciated.
This recipe sounds great! The one thing I'm surprised of is that the spice mix goes on the finished wings, somehow I expected it to go directly on the uncooked wings before the coating with the flour/cornstarch mix.
Looks like I’m going to have to give this recipe a try! Tip: when you pour beer into a glass, tilt the glass so the “head” won’t take up 2/3 of the volume 😊
OMG..I spent 10 years in Bangkok and I loved these wings.. right now I'm in Canada and really missing them..all thanks to you.. definitely gonna try man 💦💦💦💦😋😋😋😋😋😋 Thanks in advance
Omg, so I guess I'm not the only one who goes to KFC for those wings every time I'm in Thailand!! Thank you so much for this recipe, Pailin. Will definitely be trying that!!!❤
A lime juice powder!! I gotta get that!! AP flour, corn starch, and a couple tbsp of water!!! Got it! That really looks awesome 🤩 indeed better looking than KFC!!
Those 10 baht wings from a stall markets still give KFC a run for its money. I only go to KFC when I can't find fries to go with my chicken from the market!
Original recipe KFC is what made them a world wide success. Freshly fried thigh is one of the best on planet earth. Will try your recipe for zapp wings. Thanks. Peace!
Hi! She generally suggests not using dried or powdered ingredients like this if you can help it, as they lose their flavour and aroma over time - but if you have to, (and sometimes there is no other option), then you'll have to experiment with the amount as each batch will be different. Cheers! Adam
Much prefer the fast food fried chicken in Indonesia than in the US. Mcdonalds and burger king have fried chicken in Indonesia (with rice) and they're phenomenal.
i love wing zap and EGG TARTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in Thai kfc that egg tarte make me feel like go to heaven of dessert 😂😂😂
Thank you, you should have visited the $ 1.25 all you can eat buffet in the streets of Thailand and maybe visited puy the roti lady maybe next time ❤❤❤
These look so yummy! Looks like I'm making another trip to the asian market. Also, where did you get those little glass bowls with the pour spout? They look so handy!
