Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the chicken pieces dry and season lightly with salt and black pepper.

    Coat the chicken thoroughly in potato starch, pressing firmly to ensure a thick layer.

    Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the chicken in batches for 7-8 minutes until light golden.

  5. 5

    Remove chicken and let it rest for 2 minutes, then increase oil heat to 375°F (190°C).

  6. 6

    Double-fry the chicken for another 2-3 minutes until it becomes very crispy and dark golden brown.

  7. 7

    Drain the chicken briefly on a wire rack, then toss immediately in the warm sauce until fully coated.

  8. 8

    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately while hot.
