Thai style fried chicken is one of my favorites types of fried chicken. It is so light yet crispy and pairs perfectly with delicious sweet thai chili sauce. There’s very few things in life that I love more than a juicy fried piece of chicken, and this is no exception. I love to serve this with garlic rice and the sweet chili sauce is a must. You will definitely have this in your dinner rotation at least twice a week.
