Crispy Fried Chicken
Directions
- 1In a bowl, combine 1 kilo of sliced chicken leg quarters, 600g of chicken thigh fillet and 4 Tbsp of fish sauce.
- 2Add ground black pepper.
- 3Add 4 Tbsp of cornstarch to make the fried chicken crispy.
- 4Add 1 pack of crispy fry breading mix.
- 5Add about 3-4 Tbsp of water to make a batter consistency.
- 6Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- 7Set aside for about 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight.
- 8In a separate bowl, add 3 cups of flour and ground black pepper.
- 9Whisk until well combined. NOTE: The chicken meat already has the flavor it needs, so no salt is added to the flour.
- 10Dredge the chicken meat into the flour, squeezing to make sure it sticks and covers the whole meat.
- 11Shake off excess flour to have a thin, even coating. This will give a thin, crispy skin.
- 12Heat up the oil to 165-175°C (use an oil thermometer or dip a chopstick; if it bubbles, it's ready).
- 13Carefully fry the chicken meat. NOTE: ALWAYS LAY AWAY from the oil to avoid hot oil splashes.
- 14Don't put too much chicken meat in one batch to avoid a significant drop in oil temperature.
- 15Keep the flame on medium to high, and fry for about 12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. If the internal temperature of the meat (using a meat thermometer) reaches about 170°F, then it's fully cooked but not overcooked.
- 16After frying, set aside on a wire rack to cool down and keep its crispiness.
- 17When frying chicken thigh fillets, it only takes about 8 minutes to cook, so it stays juicy and not overcooked.
