I tried out various things, but this might be the most authentic.

Coat in • while mixing it.
If you add 3-5 shakes each of paprika, ginger, chili powder, oregano, and basil (or parsley), it will taste even more authentic. Shake off the excess flour when frying. Recipe by Akkorin mama

Steps

1

Pierce the chicken in several spots with a fork to release the water, place in a plastic bag with the ○ ingredients and rub it in. Squeeze out the air from the bag and let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours to marinate.
2

Mix • and □ ingredients in separate bowls.
3

Fill a frying pan a third of the way up with oil and warm it up, then add 2 tablespoons of lard (not listed). You can use shortening if it is unavailable. It tastes better if you use it, but it's okay if you don't have it.
4

Wipe off the moisture from Step 1, dip into the • ingredients and then the □ bowls. Fry both sides at 180℃ for 5 minutes each, then turn up the heat to high and fry for about 40~50~60 seconds.
5

This time I used 600 g chicken wings, then combined the leftover • and □ and fried the cartilage. It was crispy, and the kids loved it.
