"This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics and super juicy meat. Traditionally it's served with crispy fried shallots and sticky rice, but we also often eat it with som tum thai (green papaya salad). Over the years I have experimented with many different variations in the dipping and coating sauce to make this dish right up there with other popular fried chicken dishes of the world."

Gai hat yai is a southern Thai fried chicken prized for its crispy skin, bold aromatics, and exceptionally juicy meat. The dish is commonly paired with crispy fried shallots and sticky rice for a traditional accompaniment. It is also frequently served alongside som tum thai (green papaya salad) to add a bright, spicy contrast. Multiple variations of dipping and coating sauces have been used to amplify flavor and texture. These adaptations aim to elevate gai hat yai to the same popularity and recognition as other well-known fried chicken dishes worldwide.
