@@77014402 already filmed there in our video on the best day of eating in Bangkok. Can’t do any better than that. In fact I had Polo for lunch yesterday (and like every single week for two years)
@@EllisWR yep and I enjoyed watching that one when you put it out- jealous that you made it down there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P9g-ObkyPoU.html here's the link for anyone interested. Great stuff.
I'm from southern Thailand too!,Shallots are just amazing how it's just fried red onions but eating with fried chicken and sticky rice are a best combination!
I am planning to visit Thailand in December / January and my granddaughter and I are planning a food tour based on your many videos (and fried chicken rice is on the list). Thank you.
Heyyy I love when ppl come to our country mainly for food, when u here and u curious about something I'll happy to answer it to you if I know the answer like is taxi fare supposed to be this expensive etc am I being scam, feel free to ask here
recommend roast pork on stick with sticky rice too that was incredibly tasty, to be fair thai street food is so good but you need to pick the one that look new otherwise you might get an old resell stuff that is stiff and not tasty also be careful on thai seafood street food, some are not really done well so you will get diarrhea after you eat it.
The historical relationship between the japanese 'stew' and its roots in early sea farers from europe, could be a great story. I'm from Ireland, and any time I have a japanese curry, it tastes like something from the countryside in Ireland.
One of the great Japanese indeed Japanese style, Western food. this topic would be interesting. Having one in grandma restaurant in Bangkok who have good meat stew and great hamburg set, she already sold the store and receipt to Thai businessman and retired but the dish still tastes great!
If you travel to places like North East or South Thailand, you will find local fried chicken everywhere, and the taste is really good, especially when paired with sticky rice.
I am a Thai who so impressed how you got all the information around Thailand about fried chicken. I also learn many things from you about my own country.
Another fact about fried chicken in Thai cuisine is that It can be a main dish. But at the same time, it can be a complementary dish to other dishes. You can see fried chicken paired with a variety of Thai dishes, such as papaya salad, rice noodles, and many other things. That might be because Fried chicken tastes pretty simple. None of the flavors stood out. It's suitable for adding life to your meal instead of eating plain fried chicken. In Thai food, we can make it more than just plain fried chicken. By food with intense flavor It goes well with fried chicken with a simple taste. Thank you for the content in the video.
I'm glad you liked our fried chicken! I've also liked my country's fried chicken too. Very delicious in terms of flavor and crispy in terms of texture. If you're travelling at Thailand, i recommend you try it too!
18 minutes into the video I thought you never gonna mention Hat Yai style, hands down the best fried chicken ever. Chicken with the thick tempura I buy for the street dogs, they love it!
You know- people might think you're being insulting, BUT- when we were filming, we found one guy frying up some (what I thought was) good looking fried chicken, so we asked him if he was selling it, and he said no, it was for the dogs. Who knew?
Adam leaves no stones unturned, him and he's team are really on it! as a thai native myself, i keep getting surprised and learn something new in every OTR vid!
It goes for every chicken dish: if you use free range, mature chicken instead of the ubiquitous plump young factory bred chicken, it's always going to taste better. This is why Thai chicken dish made from scrawny local breed chicken always taste great.
Thank you for your sacrifice, putting your health at risk to create such tasty content for the masses. I had never thought of using red curry paste in fried chicken batter. Feel like my chicken skills just had a level up!
I love fried chicken. I will watch this one! Btw, I'm pretty confident that, in late June, while I was in Bangkok, I walked right by you one day. Didn’t want to bother you. You were by yourself. 😊 I enjoy your videos.
@OTRontheroad Thanks. I was with my cousin, and everything happened so quickly. And you know how crowded Bangkok's sidewalks are! 😆 It was the Asok area, or Phrong Pong, on Sukvumvit Rd. Yes, maybe next time.
The last guy said it best.....if it tastes good, eat it! This was an unusual one, and at first I was like, what else can you do with fried chicken that hasn't been done, but about halfway through it got interesting. Got some good ideas, and its serendipitous that were having fried chicken thighs tonight and I was already considering the spices and dipping sauces. Nice one, Adam.
Great work @OTRontheroad as a chef who lived in Thailand 20 years ago and has visited many times, your videos hit the spot. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏻ขอบคุณมากครับ [khawp khun maak khrap]
As I was watching this video, I recognized Bang Rak right away (the old neighborhood I grew up in). There's lots of great eateries in that area. I get nostalgic when I see footages of my old haunts on RU-vid. One of these days, I will go back to Thailand. 😊
When i was young and the KFC started to franchise here in Thailand. I remember it was so popular all the children eager want to eat KFC and they all overlook the Thai Had Yai fried chicken style. It was considered not fashionable until later when i’m old enough then i learn that the Had Yai style has its own merit. And it’s my favorite now.
As a hainanese Thai, thank you for covering hainanese food and it’s fusion like this chicken as well as coook shops ( I’m one of the few gen z who do grow up with cook shop food since my grandma buys it). There’s other hainanese food worth covering as well like hainanese noodle ( ironically Thai people call it ขนมจีนไหหลำ) . There’s a restaurant serving it near my house on charoennakorn road if you can’t find it. It would alos be cool if you have some vids on other Thai Chinese food groups separately since I do often wonder which group of Chinese each “Thai Chinese dish ” come from. Also pls cover some Thai Indian fusion street snacks like fried bananan and banana roti , and some that’s just so weird i don’t even know the origin of like whatever สายไหม in โรตีสายไหม is. Some would say it’s related to cotton candy but how does it become the iconic food of the ayuttaya highway ? You can also use this chance to cover this ancient city as well.
If you go to our home page (just click on our main channel page) we actually have an organized playlist of just our videos focused on Chinese-Thai. I spent more than a decade cooking in China- that's the topic I know best! And yes- my goodness, what the heck is Roti Sai Mai?
@@OTRontheroad I thought it’s gonna be some recent dish at first but then apparently it has records dating back to the ayuttaya period?It’s said to be brought on by Muslim Indians settling in the city of ayuttaya and then later Chinese cooks adapt it with thinner flour sheet. This is worth researching into! And wow that’s so old.I thought it’s found in ayuttaya just bc of the highway abd tourism just like curry puff since m6 dad always tell me to buy it whenever we pass ayuttaya.
@@TVOme I mean it’s not THAT far of a leap from chun bing with ice cream and peanuts (which- without looking it up- I think is Taiwanese?)...great idea to look into this one. I think I will.
Combo of garlic, pepper and coriander root called Sarm Glur (three friends) creates a unique flavour of Thai cuisine. It goes well with all sort of meats. It is also used as a base of Thai clear soup.😊
Also there is one style worth mention here. Yum Kai Tod (Fried Chicken Salad). I think in Bangkok they would make it like a cabbage salad but in Hatyai they would use shallot, cilantro, Kung Foi (small Shrimp) and fish sauce. mixed it together and boom one of the most yummy dish in the world 😋
I'm impressed in your topics and research , it make me know the history of this dish and many things that I didn't know before maybe because it was a common food in our (and every) country that make me thought that I know all about it Thank you for making good video like this !
This is the 1st time I saw fried chicken marinaded with curry paste. The most common marinade ingredients are garlic, cilantro roots, pepper corn, and fish sauce. The batter is usually a simple rice flour and red clay water.
Excellent and enlightening as always. I had my favourite Kerala Fried Chicken for lunch today, created by South Wales’ greatest Southern Indian chef, Annand George. Might have to make some Thai inspired fried chicken for supper now!
The wild thing is I actually wrote (and cut) a section for this video about how Kerala Fried Chicken is a direct major influence on what would become Hat Yai fried chicken. Crazy timing.
I hope you have the opportunity to visit Nan province and explore the culinary delights it has to offer, including the hidden gem known as Makwaen (มะแขว่น). This incredible spice is a well-kept secret, often unknown to many. Makwaen adds a unique and remarkable flavor to dishes, providing a sensory experience that is not only delicious but also a testament to the rich culinary diversity that Nan province has to offer. Discovering Makwaen is like uncovering a culinary treasure, and your taste buds are in for a delightful surprise when you savor the distinctive notes it imparts to local dishes. Make sure to include Makwaen in your culinary adventure when you visit Nan province, and enjoy the magic it adds to the gastronomic landscape.
There ia also one combo that go well with fried chicken. Have you ever tried "Gaeng Kiew Waan Gai Tod?" Yes Green Curry+Fried Chicken. My mom used to buy this almost every week until KFC decide to do their version. It's harder to find recently I don't know why.
Your videos are so much better than what else is available, I find i would rather watch yours three times that get bored with the dull competitors. Just great, tasty and delicious, thank you, Michel
As a random boy born in Thailand, I think the chicken fits perfectly with rice. I'm not a big fan of KFC but even sonething called ข้าวมันไก่ (Kau-man-khai) or Chicken with rice in chicken fat can always make my day.
Completely fell in love with Namibia a couple years back- got that shirt at a brewpub in Swakopmund. Cannot wait to find a way to get back to film a video on the insane magic of kapana
The Hatyai fried chicken that made famous throughout Thailand is from a Muslim family selling during night time. Their food trolley set across the street of my home. I have their fried chicken every day for almost one year as I always miss dinner time due to my sport training schedule. They are my best fried chicken and I miss the taste so much since working abroad the last 20 years.
Fried chicken is a good breakfast with sticky rice. The sticky rice make you full for very long time. And it goes well with any meat grilled pork, beef or fried chicken come with Thai chili dipping sauce.
thx you so mush speaking about Thai fried chicken, the thing that i find myself eating almost every morning when i was there. easily the most delicious friend chicken i had
ive eaten fried chicken all over asia and my favorite has always been the shrimp paste marinated fried chicken in singapore, asides from that i found a lot of regional variations werent that different to each other, thats not to say i wasnt a fan of those variations, i generally enjoyed each and every piece of chicken i ate lol
Thai fried chicken I can attest is better than the best fried chicken anywhere else. It has to do partly with what you are eating it with. Sounds weird but its true. You have the greasy, soulful and flavorful chicken combined with fragrant sticky rice, that fresh hot and sour and sweet chili dip, and eat it with hot and spicy papaya salad. Wash it down with fresh coconut juice right from a coconut, and finish it off with mango sticky rice. That is heaven, pure and simple.
My family recipe consists of just soy sauce and salt for marinade, especially for chicken wings, but it tastes good still 😊 we eat our fried chicken with white rice. It’s perfect.
fried chicken with fried garlic and basil leaves is 🤤🤤🤤⚘. Thanks for your videos, very interesting how the world nurture us with their wonderful flavours through their history. We definitely need to thank to most of the all these asian countries and learn from them how to cook.
for Kate's family recipe at the end of part 2, she describes in the video using hoisin sauce and 'tempura' flour, but the recipe given in text lists oyster sauce and wheat flour this is an important oversight, as the type of starch used in a fried chicken recipe makes a largely different end product
Thank you for such fantastic, in-depth, and thoughtfully articulated content. I’ve learned so much I never knew from your videos! Which Cville chicken joint was your favorite?
Thanks for asking! The place that comes to mind first by a mile was a bit south of town. Gas station in Esmont called Brown’s. Oh man- best fried chicken ever. Unfortunately it’s no longer in the same family as it was way back then so I certainly wouldn’t expect it to be worth visiting now
That’s too bad. Ive had it, it’s amazing! My sister introduced me to it while she was teaching at Yancey. Btw, if you’re ever looking for inspiration, watch this series called ภัตตาคารบ้านทุ่ง (Pattakhan Baan Toong). My friend Jimmy and I have always wanted to do an English version of a show like that. Each episode focuses on a traditional Thai ingredient, usually lesser known ones. He visits a farmer to learn about the ingredient (cultivation, etc). After that he goes home with them and then they show him how they use the ingredient. It’s in Thai though, so Jasper will have to translate for you. 😉
I'm watching but i'm hungry 😋 Good episode . Well done 👍 Very informative. Thai fried chicken in thailand So many recipe. you got much more information about Fried chicken in thailand .so amazing. But we have So many recipe for grill chicken For your new adventure .😊 Thank you so much 🙏😊😊
5th time on Henry next is 6th The henryfry is one of my most favorite and I put it on #1 spot anywhere else in Thailand. You can't just walk in on daily (if you're lucky you can), you need to reserve both table and amount / parts of chicken. Never in my life ate the chicken so perfect. The chicken breast that most people hate is the first part to mysteriously run out in the day. I only got to try once after 4 times there and it so juicy and tender in the level of you forgot it chicken breast, it almost a chicken thigh. No exaggeration though, friends and my brother thought it is exaggerated, but they all praised this shop as the god of fried chicken as soon as I convince them to try. It might not be the same style as Had Yai fried chicken, but their technique and execution are just on another level. The price is very friendly, although on first sight people think it's a bit too expensive for 2-4 pieces but you'll see the biggest chicken you've even seen.
Thanks for your video, it was very entertaining. I'm waiting for you to explore more Thai food cultures, especially how crazy Thai people are when it comes to BUFFET!! You can find it everywhere in Thailand, and as a Thai, I think it has become our eating culture now.
If you love fried chicken give The Enginnering Faculty at Chulalongkorn University 40 baht and they are very well know for one of the best fried chicken on campus. Go before 12:00 otherwise its a long line.
Thank you SO VERY VERY MUCH for this most intrguing video. I never knew, and would never have guessed that chickens became domesticated and used in the household in Thailand. I understand why fried chicken came from Europe, given to this day, most fried chicken is battered in some sort of wheat flour. There's just one thing I want to add to your story. That is it is widely held idea that fried chicken tastes better if it's free-range chickens. I totally refute that. It frustrates me to have to actively search for meat on my fried chicken. Swasdee Krap from a fried chicken loving Thai that regularly eats KFC right here in the Big Mango.
