During my childhood days, my neighbours will brought home some of these fried chicken and khanom chan kuih whenever they travelled back from Thailand. These fried chicken normally came in medium size whole leg. The skin is still very tasty & crispy even after long hours drive from Hatyai, Thailand. Oh yeah, still pretty clear in mind. haha…… How could I not to give this a try ! Please read on for more.
