Thai or Khmer Stuffed Chicken Legs or Wings



Thai or Khmer Stuffed Chicken Legs or Wings

This recipe takes a bit of time to do. Many Khmer Thai cook stuffed chicken in many ways and the filling also difference from region to region. In order to stuff the chicken you need to remove the inside bone by taking a sharp knife and circle around the bone and peel the chicken meat backward until you get the bone out to make a hole inside the chicken leg or wing. You can steam and Pan fry or bake like any chicken.

12 chicken legs, drumsticks or wings or half legs half wings (take the bone out clean and set aside)

For the filling you need

2 1/2 cup of ground chicken or Pork, or shrimp
1 egg
1/2 cup of green onion minced
1/2 cup of minced carrot
1/2 cup of minced dried mushroom (soak wash)
1/2 cup of minced onion
1/2 cup of minced bamboo shoots
1/3 cup of roasted crush peanut (optional)
1/4 cup of mix lemongrass paste (optional but Khmer people like it)
1 bunch of bean thread noodle (soak wash mince)
1 T of oyster sauce
1 T of soy sauce
1 t of sugar more or less up to you
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl set aside. (if you don’t like oyster sauce you can put any kind of seasoning you like or just salt and pepper)

Take one piece of chicken leg or wing by packing it down to the bottom. It should make a fat little drumstick or wing.



To cook stuff chickens it is best if you steam the chicken first for 30 minutes
In a steamer lay lettuce leave or spray the bottom of the steamer incase it is stick to the pan
Dust each piece of stuffed chicken (you can dust or steam without dusting) with flour then lay them in the steamer and steam for 30 minutes (repeat the remaining chicken) when it done take it out to cool before you do the next step.

Next roll them in 2 beaten egg wash, and then in panko bread crumbs slightly seasoned with salt and pepper
Pan fry until golden brown then take the chicken out lay on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve as appetizer or main dish with Thai sweet and chili sauce or sweet fish sauce with lime juice and chilies garlic.
