A lot of Thai dishes are spicy, sweet, salty, and sour all at once, and that’s why Thai food is so easy to love. This fried chicken sandwich has so much more going on than the traditional version, and the batter doesn't require a single egg. Its marinade is a little spicy and sweet and gets some sourness from the lime juice. The chicken fries up extra crispy and is worth busting out the oil for, and no eggs are needed in the batter.

This entire dessert magically comes together in the oven, so it's just the thing to serve when you don't feel like rolling and baking off individual cookies.
