Steps

  1. 1

    Remove any excess skin, cartilage, or bones from the chicken. Poke the chicken all over with a fork, or make cuts with a knife.

  2. 2

    Cut against the grain of the meat to allow the flavors to penetrate and make the chicken tender when fried. Make cuts about 1/8 inch apart, varying the depth.

  3. 3

    Cut into appropriate sizes, place the chicken and ● ingredients in a bowl or bag, and massage well. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Key tip! Bring the chicken to room temperature before coating to ensure even heat conduction and a juicy, crispy finish when frying.

  5. 5

    Coat the chicken. First, dust with potato starch until the surface is white and sticky from absorbing the chicken's moisture.

  6. 6

    Next, coat individually with all-purpose flour.

  7. 7

    Violet brand flour is recommended for a crispier texture and better oil drainage.

  8. 8

    Coat thoroughly.

  9. 9

    Press the coating until the surface feels smooth.

  10. 10

    The amount of flour needed varies due to the chicken's moisture content.

  11. 11

    Fry at about 340–355°F for 2 minutes, turning occasionally. Larger pieces may need a bit longer. Ideally, fry at 355°F for 1 1/2 minutes.

  12. 12

    Transfer to a rack for about 4 minutes to cook through with residual heat. It's okay if it cools, as it will be fried again. Preparing up to this point makes serving hot chicken easier.

  13. 13

    Fry again at 355°F for 2–4 minutes, turning occasionally. It will become crispy quickly, so remove when it turns golden brown.

    I apologize for the inappropriate response posted by my child at an inconvenient time.

    I have also uploaded a version using chicken drumettes. It takes more effort, but it's even more delicious!
