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.
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.
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!
You need to do moo ping. The best one that I ever had, living In Thailand for 12 years, was on the corner of Silom and Soi Convent late at night. In front of the Seven. Not sure if it’s there anymore. Also moo tod gaitiem that was amazing right in front of Bangkok Christian Hospital on Silom. And in general, nuea det diau (deep fried dried beef) that you can get everywhere. Love the videos ❤❤
This is easily becoming one of my favorite channels. From your in-depth research and general food anthropology to the entertaining story-telling that you do, it's all incredibly impressive. Would love to see you talk about the history of Thai tea, I know I once went almost insane trying to find out why it is orange. Still not sure to be honest haha.
Thanks so much for the kind words. And unfortunately the answer for Thai tea is...food coloring. It’s a marketing technique because it looks appealing haha
Wow, it's so nice to know that someone is really after our Thai fried-chicken! I'm Thai, and couldn't agree more that our fried chicken was really that good. Because of the fact that I was born and raised in Bangkok, I may have taken our fried-chicken for granted all my life. After seeing this video, I promise to eat much more of it and to appreciate it much, much more. Thanks!
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.
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!
Aaah I miss having fried chicken with sticky rice for breakfast in Thailand! 🤤 I wish it was common to eat your meat of choice with a side of sticky rice that’s not in the form of a dumpling here in Indonesia LOL
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!
I’m making my first fried chicken tomorrow and the marinate is exactly the one you mentioned. I just hope I can stand up to theirs. Thank you for a wonderful video now to subscribe
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!
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]
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.
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.
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.
Awesome story about Fried Chicken in Thailand!! I am so happy to discovered your TH-cam channel as it's the best about the food of Thailand, by far! Exiting to watch more from you...greetings from a guy in Switzerland, who miss Thailand and the people there so very much
Great video as always. Fascinating to learn that chickens seem to have evolved in what is now modern Thailand. This might explain why the first letter of the Thai alphabet is 'ก' (gaw gai). It even looks like a chicken!
Hat Yai fried chicken is the best. well if you visit Hat Yai again I recommend you to try Kai Ko Lae(grill chicken in mix of chilly paste and coconut milk
This is awesome! It makes me feel weird because I haven't seen any in-depth history of Thai Fried Chicken from any Thais but I learned this from foreigner in non-Thai language. LOL.
I like this kind of content not just wandering around tasting chicken, but give some information behind the story. Thank you for sharing Thai fried chicken.
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 !
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 TH-cam. One of these days, I will go back to Thailand. 😊
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.
Wow 😮 learn a lot about fried chicken from you. Me as a Thai, never thinking that much about fried chicken, I just know we have different kinds of fried chicken to pair with another dish like Isan fried chicken not going to be spicy because we'll eat it as side dish for somtam to help calm the hot, spiciness down.
I have been watching many channels about Thailand form 2020 when the c19 started... I visited 2 Thailand times in 2022...n 1 time 2023 so far 22days in total .. I have eaten in many street food ... Your videos are the very very best. ....I back in my home town i prepare pad kra pao....and grilled Thai chicken.... often. I am proud of.....love ur channel
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!
Nice presentation bro. As a Thai citizen I can confirm that our fried chicken (known as Hat Yai style fried chicken) rly built different here. Dipping with a sauce (Nam Jim Kai) make it double the flavor. It looks dry but trust me when I say it is tender. IT REALLY IS TENDER AND CRISPY.
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.
interesting the hat yai version, the fried shallots are also a thing for malaysian and indonesian, we called it "bawang goreng", we usually put it on top of everything: rice, noodle, sambal, chicken, etc. perhaps ms.thongkham has the influence of malay.
Yes, realistically the story is BS. It is absolutely inspired by Malay Muslim traditions as this is very common (and also something not entirely different to a popular version served in Sumatra where I once lived)
@@OTRontheroad yes indeed, it's something that Medan city at Sumatra use a lot as a topping. but Aceh at Sumatra like to use shallots as in like pickles topping.
@@OTRontheroad yeah the hint of coconut oil, paired with red tomato sambal. absolutely delightful and scrumptious! Nasi kapau from bukit tinggi city, nearby padang city is delicious as well, but more oily. Nasi Kandar from Malay-Indian is good too. But personally I would say Medan probably has the best nasi padang.
it's been so long since I last had fried chicken in Thailand and their sauces! they just work! just watching this activated my saliva glands like crazy
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.😊
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.
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
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 really appreciate you making video about all the food and their origins I as a Thai person learns a lot from your videos and thanks for bringing all these food to the eyes of the world
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
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 🙏😊😊
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. 😉
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.
I suggest you should make a clip about grilled chicken in Thailand , You might have heard about Grilled Chicken (Vichianburi) or Grilled Chicken (KaoSuanKwang) , their story is about similar to Curry puff in your earlier clip. It is about souvenir that become more popular.
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.
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.
OTR can you do a history of Thailand hotpot, Suki, from the likes of MK to ruean petch and the likes. Would be a fascinating watch. I'm quite curious where the name come from, Thai Suki is so far from Japanese sukiyaki 😂
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.
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
Fried chicken is good with sticky rice, fried shallots, and of course that sweet chilli sauce, so-called chicken dipping sauce (nam jim gai). This is the way we eat it in the southern city of Hat Yai.

Oh there was never any doubt.
As a Thai I would trust you. Chicken in Thailand is best in the world.
First time I tried a humble fried chicken wing in Bangkok I was converted to the one true Faith: Thai fried chicken 🍗
Imagine being a local. You didn't wake up from alarm, But the sound and the smell of freshly deep fries chicken every morning.
Sadly as a local I wake up from alarms, not fried chicken
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.
Fried chicken in Thailand and countries around Thailand ( even at KFC restaurants ) are so much better than here in France ( for example ).

interesting the hat yai version, the fried shallots are also a thing for malaysian and indonesian, we called it "bawang goreng", we usually put it on top of everything: rice, noodle, sambal, chicken, etc. perhaps ms.thongkham has the influence of malay.
Yes, realistically the story is BS. It is absolutely inspired by Malay Muslim traditions as this is very common (and also something not entirely different to a popular version served in Sumatra where I once lived)
@@OTRontheroad yes indeed, it's something that Medan city at Sumatra use a lot as a topping. but Aceh at Sumatra like to use shallots as in like pickles topping.
I absolutely love Medan Nasi Padang-style ayam pop. Love it more than pretty much any fried chicken anywhere.@@kungfudunk94
@@OTRontheroad yeah the hint of coconut oil, paired with red tomato sambal. absolutely delightful and scrumptious! Nasi kapau from bukit tinggi city, nearby padang city is delicious as well, but more oily. Nasi Kandar from Malay-Indian is good too. But personally I would say Medan probably has the best nasi padang.
it's been so long since I last had fried chicken in Thailand
and their sauces! they just work!
just watching this activated my saliva glands like crazy
Try Hat Yai Fried chicken with lemonade.... While relaxing on Hat Yai beach... Try it... I highly recommend it.
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.😊
ฉันก็ชอบกินประจำ คุณมาถูกทางแล้ว มันสุดยอด อร่อยและประหยัด
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.
@@OTRontheroadIt's like chun bing wrap with Iranian floss candy. Everybody think it came from India but it very suspicious that it not.😉
@@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.
@@OTRontheroad I think it's might be tang cong bing 糖葱饼 but everyone in Thailand called it Roti never know why. 😅
I am Thai and am so impressed with the depth of your research. 🎉
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
thanks for subtitles, appreciate them
Fried chicken and sticky rice, my saturday and sunday breakfast for like 30 years, can't live without them.
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.
Really good high quality video ! Love your content! My sister is obsessed with thai fried chicken. I love it too !
Brother! The Kingdom of Thailand truly appreciates your crispy episode.
Your videos are exceptional! Keep up the great work!
It all looks delish and love the historical background. 👍
This an excellent documentary. Learnt a lot from this video.
I really appreciate you making video about all the food and their origins I as a Thai person learns a lot from your videos and thanks for bringing all these food to the eyes of the world
As a Namibian that loves your videos, it's such a cool surprise to see your Namib shirt.
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
for me it probably tons of fried Shallot and juicy dipping sauce. 😁
crunch and juicy but feel light at the same time.
What a superb show about thai fried chicken. With the history and all that. Amazing stuff!
I'm watching but i'm hungry 😋

I’m Thai. Thank you for a good content on Thai Fried chicken.
You got it right!!!
Man you had me thinking back to stumbling on to some type of fried chicken spicy salad /laab so yummy!
Brother this is so well done and informative
love all your videos! this one reminds me of an infamous Midnight Fried Chicken in Chiangmai!
Thank you for your video. Love to hear the story behind foods.
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. 😉

Nothing can beat a good fried chicken with some sticky rice and sweet and spicy sauce ❤
For me Hat Yai fire chicken is the best of the best.
i am so glad i am here cause this video made me crave it headed down stairs to grab some now
Another type of chicken I want you to try is kai yang wichian buri it's a roast chicken I think its pretty good.
What an amazing channel. So well researched!
I’m thai and this is such a great video loveee
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.
9:48 Are these the wing tip and the flat together with the flat split in half? I've not seen wings cut like this before.
I suggest you should make a clip about grilled chicken in Thailand , You might have heard about Grilled Chicken (Vichianburi) or Grilled Chicken (KaoSuanKwang) , their story is about similar to Curry puff in your earlier clip. It is about souvenir that become more popular.
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.
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.
Another great vid guys, my mouth is watering in Australia.
Back in the Kingdom next mth, can't wait.
Cheers
Simon
OTR can you do a history of Thailand hotpot, Suki, from the likes of MK to ruean petch and the likes. Would be a fascinating watch. I'm quite curious where the name come from, Thai Suki is so far from Japanese sukiyaki 😂
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.
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
wonderful how deep you dig out for only the fried chicken story ^^
Fried chicken is good with sticky rice, fried shallots, and of course that sweet chilli sauce, so-called chicken dipping sauce (nam jim gai). This is the way we eat it in the southern city of Hat Yai.
