Gai Phad Med mamuang

Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts

Gai Phad Med Mamuang, whose flavour comes entirely from the roasted cashew nuts, is a favourite among both Thais and foreigners.

The texture is a little on the soft side, while the smell comes from the chicken, which is fried until they turn golden.

While adding chicken, turn the heat up to maximum. Grandmother's secret recipe includes the addition of boiled chicken soup while frying, which is makes it sweet and frarant.

  • If you do not have cashew nuts on hand, use whole unsalted almonds or peanuts instead.
