Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and sugar. Marinate chicken thighs for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  2. On a plate, mix rice flour or cornstarch with salt and pepper. Dredge marinated chicken in the mixture for a crispy coating.
  3. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a skillet. Fry chicken in batches for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Whisk together Thai chili sauce and plain yogurt (or mayonnaise) to make chili mayo.
  5. Toast brioche buns lightly. Spread chili mayo, then assemble with fried chicken, cucumbers, pickled carrots, and fresh herbs.
  6. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
