Peek Gai Todd Thai Style (Fried Chicken Wings)
October 3, 2007
Last time you’re already known the recipe for boil rice and this time I’m going to show you the recipe for everyone in your family. One of my favourite dish and it’s going to be one of your family favourite dish too. We call “Peek Gai todd” in Thai.
Peek Gai = chicken wing
Todd = fry
(2 servings)
10 chicken wings
1/3 cup coarsely chopped garlic
1/3 cup Thai Rice Flour
3 tbsps Thai fish sauce
1 tbsp coriander root, chopped finely
1 tsp ground black pepper
* 1/2 tsp Thai seasoning powder (Rod dee) - you may skip *
4-5 cups cooking oil, for deep-frying
Cut the wings into halves and put in the big bowl. Pound coriander roots, garlic and pepper finely to obtain a smooth paste, add into the bowl with wings. Follow with rice flour, fish sauce, seasoning powder and mix well. Marinate the wings with all ingredients for 1/2 day or over night in the refrigerator (I usually let it sits for over night because it will get a great taste).
When you’re ready to fry please take the wings out from the refrigerator and let them sit in the room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot, deep-fry the wings until brown and cooked through (8-10 minutes). Remove from the oil and drain. Serve with rice or boil rice.
Everything in this recipe not that difficult to find and really easy to prepare, but just the only thing that I couldn’t find in here or either from Thai grocery’s online is Thai seasoning powder. You can try to find it in an ethnic grocery store such as Thai, Vietnamese or Chinese, but if you can’t find it then it’s ok to skip it.
Please drop me a comment if you try this recipe…I would be glad to share. 
And before I leave, next Wednesday I will present how to the make the spicy dish “Neua Naam Tok” or spicy grilled beef. If you love spicy food you won’t want to miss it…

Hi,
I’m glad that you enjoy it, and you can follow my recipe every Wednesday.
Hi,
Just got back from my first trip to Thailand where I enjoyed the best fried chicken of my life on several occasions. Very happy to find this recipe. I have a question for you: can you tell me more about the “Thai seasoning powder (Rod dee)?” Can you tell me what the basic ingredients of this seasoning are so I know when I have found the right one. Is “Rod dee” the brand name or the Thai word for this type of seasoning?
Many thanks
Hi Nass,
I hope your first trip to Thailand was great and left you wanting more. Personally even after a dozen trips I am always left wanting more :>)
Yep, the fried chicken is freaking delicious and so cheap there too. Always makes me wonder how the heck KFC makes any money in Thailand.
Rod Dee (or Ros Dee) is the brand name and it is similar to our bullion. Golf always uses the pork flavor as she says that it “gets along” the best with this recipe although you could use chicken flavor as well. I live in the northeast US and have yet to find Rod Dee anywhere here, we have ours shipped from Thailand by her mom.
The ingredients shown on the package are Salt, MSG, Garlic, Sugar, Pork meat powder, Disodium-5-Inosinate and Disodium-5-Guanylate as flavoring, Natural flavoring. Needless to say I don’t think you can replicate this at home, but you can try to find it. If you live in California you may have more luck than us as there is a much larger Thai population there. I’ll take a picture of the package later and email it to you
