Ingredients:

Serving

you will need to marinate the chicken overnight or as long as possible before cooking.
2 large chicken breasts
peanut or veg oil for frying
1 large bunch mint ( at least 36 leaves)
for the marinade
2 tbsp fish sauce (nam plao)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tbsp caster sugar
for the dipping sauce
4 tbsp caster sugar
3 1/2 oz/100 ml rice vinegar
3 tbsp water
5 red chilis , deseeded and chopped (if you prefer heat then leave the seeds. the thais do!)
2 tbsp lime juice
dash salt
bamboo skewers

Directions:

Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes or chunks. Make 24-36 chunks.
Tumble in a bowl or container with the fish sauce, garlic and sugar. Cover the chicken and marinade mixture and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
Sauce:
Stir all sauce ingredients, EXCEPT lime juice and salt, in a pan. Bring to a bubbling boil and cook until reduced and syrupy.
Lightly salt and leave to go cold.
Process with a hand blender until fairly smooth , then stir in lime juice.
Cool in refrigerator overnight. Remove one hour before serving.
When ready to serve:
Preheat wok and oil
Drain chicken from marinade
Fry in a fairly deep pool of oil for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Drain on paper towel.
Arrange chicken and mint leaves on a plate or platter. Place the dipping sauce in a small bowl and place on the platter to the side. Arrange a bundle of skewers or cocktail sticks next to the bowl.
Wrap the chicken chunk in a mint leaf and dip into the sauce using a bamboo skewer.
**If you do not have time to make the sauce you can buy a good quality bottle of Thai dipping sauce and add the lime juice before serving.
