This is a great recipe to make. p>Step 1
space
Wash and de-bone skinned chicken thighs.
Step 2
space
Skinned chicken thighs, all boned.
Step 3
space
Flatten the chicken with your hands and cut into pieces. It's best to make sure that each piece of chicken comes with a little bit of chicken skin on it so that it fries up best. The chicken leg bones that you pick off can be put into a plastic bag and left behind for later use in soups.
Step 4
space
Add soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar, black pepper (or pepper powder), olive oil (or the usual oil used for stir-frying) to the chopped chicken and marinate for half an hour or more. (I don't have a big bowl at home, so I divided it into two bowls.)
Step 5
space
Take a large spoonful of cornstarch. I would have used tapioca flour here, cornstarch, sweet potato starch will work.
Step 6
space
Take a heaping tablespoon of flour as well. The ratio of starch to flour is 1:1.
Step 7
space
Place the starch and flour in a large dish to make it easier to coat the chicken later. I usually start with one cup of flour to one cup of cornstarch and then add more when I don't have enough. It's less likely to go to waste that way.
Step 8
space
With chopsticks, stir the cornstarch and flour together.
Step 9
space
Here I used an egg first, then I ran out of egg and beat another one.
Step 10
space
This completes the preparation!
Step 11
space
The leftover oil from yesterday's French fries. Of course it is still recommended to use new oil for frying.
Step 12
space
Pick up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and coat it in flour+starch.
Step 13
space
Then dip it in the egg mixture.
Step 14
space
Then back to the flour+starch for another dip.
Step 15
space
The chicken pieces coated with egg and flour rest on a plate for a while, letting the egg and flour come into close contact for a longer time. When you put them together in the pan later, the heat is more manageable.
Step 16
space
When the oil temperature comes up, about 60% hot, put the prepared chicken pieces into the frying pan.
Step 17
space
Don't use chopsticks to stir the chicken when you put it in, it's okay if the chicken pieces stick together, it's easy to separate them with chopsticks when the shell is crispy. About three or four minutes to fry, this depends on the size of the chicken pieces to, not sure cooked or not cooked, just quietly taste a piece of it. Hahahahaha, it's so random.
Step 18
space
Fry the chicken until the skin is browned.
Step 19
space
Finally, fry again on high heat, this time the oil temperature should be higher, 70% to 80% of the oil, the chicken pieces just re-deposited into the pan for a minute. The chicken pieces will have a layer of crispy shell.
Step 20
space
Sprinkle with pretzels and pretend you're eating salt-crusted chicken. Dip it in ketchup and feel like you're eating KFC again. Real Japanese fried chicken should be eaten with mayonnaise. It's better than you can imagine, so give it a try!
