Have you tried Pandan Leaf Chicken?
Pandan leaf chicken is one of the best specialty chicken dishes in Thailand. The chicken is moist, tender, infused with refreshing pandan aroma and encased in the leaf packets.
Ingredients:
• 6 pieces chicken wings, small chicken drumsticks, or sliced boneless chicken breasts
• 6 to 8 pieces Pandan leaves
• 1 cups cooking oil
• 2 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 thumb-size piece ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon calamansi juice
Procedure
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Put-in the chicken pieces in the bowl with the mixture and marinade for at least 3 hours. I always marinade meat overnight to absorb the flavors better.
- Wrap the chicken with Pandan leaves. This is done by taking a long leaf and start wrapping about 3 inches down the leaf until the chicken piece is covered. Wrap back from where you started and tie one end of the leaf to the other end until a knot is formed.
- Heat a cooking pot and pour-in cooking oil.
- When the oil is hot enough, deep fry the chicken until the color turns golden brown.
- Turn-off heat and transfer to a serving plate.
- Enjoy :)

Only I didn't know it was Pandan (sort of rice, right? )leaf. I thought it was bamboo leaf instead. But anyway, Thai food is amazing
