Nang kai thot

Nang kai thot is a savory Thai snack consisting of deep-fried chicken skin. Chicken skin is first cooked in boiling water, then drained and seasoned with salt and pepper or dredged in seasoned flour before it is immersed in hot oil to fry until nicely colored and crispy. The skin portion of the chicken breasts is regarded as the most suitable for this dish, but any part of the skin can be used. There are no standard seasonings for this snack as each street food vendor uses their own unique seasoning mix, but other than the usual salt and pepper, cilantro powder, garlic powder, chicken flavoring powder, and soy sauce are used most often. A dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce typically accompanies this crunchy snack. In Thailand, crispy deep-fried chicken skin is a popular drinking snack.
