2
Use a mini food processor or a mortar and pestle to blend the garlic, cilantro roots and salt until they become a fine paste.

When ready, heat up a pot of cooking oil or use a deep fryer. While waiting for the oil to heat up, mix the three types of flour together in a new Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and coat evenly with the flour mixture. Shake the excess flour off.
5
Drop the chicken gently into the oil and deep fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown (the inside should cook thoroughly but remains juicy). Transfer the fried chicken out on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
6
Serve the fried chicken immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce.
