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

  5. 2 clove○Garlic (grated)
  6. 1knob ○Ginger (grated)

  9. 100 ml●Milk

  11. 3 tbsp□Bread (strong) flour
  12. 1/2 tsp□Salt
  13. 1 tsp□Allspice
  14. 5shakes each □White pepper, black pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Mix • and □ ingredients in separate bowls.

  3. 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. 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. 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.
