This recipe provides a great Thai dipping sauce to eat with fried or roasted chicken. Thai dipping sauces vary greatly but this one is our favorite to eat with chicken cooked this way. The recipe also covers cooking the chicken thighs in an air fryer - our preferred way to cook for succulent, moist and moreish roast chicken to match the sauce and a salad idea.
Before cooking the chicken thighs, sprinkle with mushroom seasoning and massage well in with your fingers. Allow to stand for 5 minutes for the seasoning to be absorbed. This help tenderise the chicken as well as giving a better taste.
Place the thighs in a single layer in your air fryer set at 180°C and cook for 20 minutes. It is advisable to check 10 minutes into the cooking time and a few minutes before the end as cooking times fr different brands can vary slightly. No need to turn
If you wish to cook in a traditional oven then pre-heat first to 180°C set on convection. Place your thighs on a grid rack over a tray to allow the hot air to pass around each thigh and with the tray to collect any juices produced.
Making the Thai Dipping Sauce
Chop the shallots and spring/green onions into small pieces.
Mix together the palm sugar, tamarind paste, and half the fish sauce, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the roasted rice and chili flakes, the lime juice and mix well before adding the chopped shallots and green onions, stirring in well.
Taste the dipping sauce and add in more fish sauce to add salt and umami flavors and to balance the flavors to suit your taste.
Salad Suggestion
Scrape the skin off the outside of the carrot and shred with a shredding tool.
Slice the tomato and radish. Cut the pepper vertically top, bottom and sides, pull the sides away and cut at the bottom to easily remove the seeds. Then slice into strips or chunks to your preference.
Slice the cooked corn ear vertically top to bottom to cut of the edible kernels. You can leave in strips, break into smaller pieces or break into individual kernels.
Using a serrated tool, slice lengthwise to cut away most of the cucumber skin and then slice diagonally crossways for a pretty effect.
