Fried Chicken with Hot Sauce

Fried Chicken with Hot Sauce, Thai-style, is a bold and flavorful take on one of the world’s favorite comfort foods. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and finished with a spicy, tangy sauce — this version packs a punch in every bite.
While fried chicken is a beloved street food around the globe, this Southeast Asian twist stands out with its balance of heat, sweetness, and aromatic spices. It’s especially popular in Taiwan during warmer months, where spicy dishes help beat the heat and satisfy the cravings of those who love bold flavors.
This recipe uses simple ingredients and an easy frying method to help you recreate that street food experience at home — no deep fryer required.
