Hat Yai Style Fried Chicken

The street food snack from the southern Thai city of Hat Yai features chicken drumsticks marinated in a mixture of cilantro roots, garlic, pepper, sugar, and fish sauce before being coated in rice flour and deep-fried. What makes this dish special are the fried shallots that are sprinkled over the drumsticks before serving.
