Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by combining your chicken thighs or breasts in a large mixing bowl with seasoning such as salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and cornstarch until well combined. Beat an egg in another bowl to create an egg wash.
- Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the beaten egg, then coat it in the flour mixture to ensure each piece is nicely covered.
- Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat and pour in enough oil to coat the bottom. Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine mayonnaise and full-fat coconut milk. Whisk until smooth and warm, avoiding a boil.
- Gently toss the crispy chicken in the warm coconut sauce right before serving, ensuring each piece is well coated.
