The terms "Asian" and "fried chicken" are, I’ll admit, not ones that you will often see together. This is because fried chicken is very much an integral part of U.S. tradition; a staple at every game day, Mardi Gras and movie night with friends. In recent times, fried chicken has suffered from something of a bad rep due to its associations with unhealthy fast food joints and dubious preparation methods. What you might not have realized, however, is that "fried chicken" is actually a staple street food in many Asian countries, although not in the typical sense that you might imagine!
These Asian fried chicken recipes are far healthier than their American counterparts, as they use homemade batter and deep-frying is kept to a minimum. They offer such an abundance of textures with each bite, and many incorporate exotic herbs or are served with amazing dipping sauces that make fried chicken less of a guilty pleasure and more of a gourmet talking point!
