1: Cut each chicken thigh into three pieces, and place in a medium-sized bowl. Marinate with all remaining marinade ingredients overnight. 2: Heat a large pot with canola oil on medium heat to 350°F (175°C). 3: Blot marinated chicken dry with paper towels, dredge in potato starch, and dust off the excess. 4: Carefully drop chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for 5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from heat. 5: Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Place chicken back in for a second fry for 2 minutes. 6: Once crisp, remove from heat and place on a cooling rack; sprinkle a pinch of salt. 7: For the crepe, mix water, coconut milk, rice flour, cake flour, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. 8: Heat a medium non-stick pan on medium heat, add oil, and swirl to coat. 9: Ladle in crepe batter and cook until the top sets, then flip and brush the edges with sesame oil. Cook briefly and stack with parchment paper. 10: For the sauce, mix hot sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, fish sauce, honey, cayenne, and black pepper in a bowl. 11: Serve the fried chicken in the crepes with sauce, lettuce, and herbs.
