Each piece of chicken is wrapped in pandan or screwpine leaf that give them this wonderful taste and aroma and keeps the meat juicy even after being deep fried. The popularity of this Thai dish has also reached the Philippines in the recent years. Not surprising, since we're practically neighbors and cooking with pandan or screwpine leaves, which is abundant in most South East Asian countries,  has also been a part of Filipino cuisine.   It is usually added to steamed rice while cooking to add fragrance or used for stuffing whole chicken. But my favorite, of course, would be the Buko-Pandan Salad, which is a cold dessert made from coconut meat and pandan-flavored gelatin in sweet cream.

I made the dip by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, minced ginger, chili flakes and a bit of sugar. I usually don't use measurements, it is more like add or take a few this or that until I get the taste I am looking for. But try not to put so much soy sauce, specially if using the dark one, it could get too salty.    You've got to try this aromatic and savory Thai pandan chicken recipe!

    Hi!

    Is it possible to store this frozen, prepared but not cooked? Like making big batch of 2kg, then freezing them so I can just pop them out any time for an easy meal?

    Thank you! I made a lot of your recipes by now so I also wanna try this!

      Yes, you can freeze them for days or some weeks without a problem. Just make sure to place them in a ziplock or freezer-safe container.
