“Gai Baan Thod Gluea” (
) is a dish from northern Thailand where chicken pieces are marinated in a mixture of
garlic, pepper, soy sauce, salt and other spices and then deep-fried. In the simplest case, the meat is simply rubbed with salt before frying.
In both variants, the meat becomes crispy on the outside and remains juicy on the inside. The marinade provides an intense flavour. The whole dish is usually
served with a spicy dip and sticky rice. This dish is also known as “Gai Baan Thod Khem” (
) or “Gai Mueang Khua
Gluea” (
).
