Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and sugar, mixing until well blended. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
  2. Mix rice flour or cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly for a good coating.
  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry coated chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  4. Whisk together the Thai chili sauce and yogurt or mayonnaise until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Toast the brioche buns. Spread chili mayo on the bottom half, layer with fried chicken, cucumbers, pickled carrots, and herbs. Top with bun and press gently.
  6. Optional: Add crushed peanuts, lime juice, or extra Thai chili sauce as toppings.
