Sriracha Crispy Chicken Dirty Fries
Crispy fried chicken, golden fries and a generous pour of spicy sriracha aioli — unapologetically messy, and better for it. Share it or don't. The heat comes from Real Thai Sriracha Hot Chilli Garlic Sauce, one of the Real Thai products we bring into the Maldives. Chilli warmth, garlic depth and a touch of tang: right for coating the chicken, and right again stirred into a creamy aioli. Serving size: 2

Step-by-Step Method
- 1
First, cut 250g chicken breast into 2 to 3 cm pieces. Set this aside in a bowl.
- 2
To a large bowl, add 1 cup milk, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp chilli powder. Mix well using a spoon and add the chicken pieces in, mix again and cover using food wrap.
- 3
Let it marinate in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes. Preferably 2 hours for best flavour and tenderness.
- 4
In a separate bowl, mix ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup corn flour and 1/8 tsp salt. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, then coat each piece well in the flour mixture.
- 5
Heat 4 cups oil in a large pot for 6 minutes and add the chicken pieces. Fry them in 2-3 batches until golden brown or the chicken is fully cooked for 7 to 9 minutes. After the first batch, you may have to adjust temperature of the oil if it’s too hot. It might also take around 6-7 minutes to fry the second and third batch. Take it out using a strainer and set aside.
- 6
Into the same pot of oil, heat for 4 minutes and add 250g fries. Fry on high heat for 15 minutes or until golden in colour and remove to a strainer to drain the oil.
- 7
Add the fries to a large bowl and add 1/4 tsp salt. Shake the bowl to coat the fries evenly.
- 8
Then make the sriracha aioli. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup Real Thai Sriracha Hot – Chilli Garlic Sauce, ¼ tsp lemon juice and ¼ tsp garlic powder, into a small bowl and mix using a small spoon. Set aside.
- 9
Add ¼ cup Real Thai Sriracha Hot – Chilli Garlic Sauce into a bowl and add the fried chicken pieces in and mix and coat them well with a spoon.

To assemble, add the fries into a tray, top with the chicken and then pour the sriracha aioli on top.
