6. Thai Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a common street food in Thailand, eaten as both a finger food and main course dish. Unlike Western-style fried chicken -- where the coating is thick and tasty while the chicken beneath is plain --- Thai fried chicken features a crisp, thin coating and flavor that reaches deep into the meat. It's the spice paste/marinade that does the trick, a wonderful concoction of Thai herbs and spices. Great as a party finger food, or anytime you want to make dinner into a special treat.

7. Special Lime Leaf Green Curry Chicken

his Thai spin on classic green curry recipe is exquisitely Thai in taste, flavor, and texture. Made with lime leaf as well as lime juice, the curry paste is extremely aromatic and dark green in color. It is similar to classic Thai green curry, but also slightly different owing to the prominant flavor of the lime leaves.

Thai Cashew Chicken is one of many stir fry recipes that came to Thailand via the Chinese. Very popular in Thai restaurants, this famous chicken stir fry recipe is made with lean chicken breast, shiitake mushrooms, plus suey choy, bok choy, or other healthy greens of your choice.

10. Classic Chicken Curry

This curry chicken recipe is my family's favorite. It's a classic yellow curry made with chunks of chicken and potatoes, and tastes like one of those wonderful curry dishes you can find in the marketplaces and streets of Bangkok. The use of curry powder helps the dish come together quickly and easily. Enjoy!
