Prepare the marinade: Pound or blend lemongrass, galangal, garlic, coriander root, and white peppercorns into a paste.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the marinade paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, black pepper, and fish sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

Just before frying, toss the marinated chicken with rice flour until lightly coated. This helps create a crispier texture.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or deep pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- 5
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
- 6
Deep-fry the chicken for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown, cooked through, and crispy.
- 7
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
- 8
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro and sliced red chilies.
