Where it comes from
Fried chicken is one of Thailand's great street romances: gai tod stands perfume every market in the country, each vendor guarding a batter mix and a fry time like a family heirloom. Ours keeps that faith — a light dredge and a hard fry, so the skin crackles while the meat stays steaming-juicy. No sauce required. That is the point.
