Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Chicken thigh, bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup Potato starch
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 6 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, minced
  • 5 pieces Dried red chili peppers, chopped
  • 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 3 cups Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of pepper for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken with the beaten egg and then dredge thoroughly in potato starch until fully covered.

  3. 3

    Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and deep-fry the chicken in batches for 5 minutes until light golden brown.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken, increase heat to 375°F (190°C), and fry a second time for 2 minutes until extra crispy.

  5. 5

    In a separate wok or large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sauté garlic, ginger, and dried chilies until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Whisk together the remaining soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water, then pour into the wok to simmer.

  7. 7

    Once the sauce thickens slightly, add the fried chicken and green onions to the pan.

  8. 8

    Toss rapidly over high heat to coat every piece of chicken evenly with the sauce before serving.
