The BEST Fried Chicken We've Ever Had!
Ingredients
Ingredients
6 chicken thighs and legs
Batter
6-7 large cloves garlic
4-5 spring onions
Handful coriander
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1.5 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp fried shallots
3 Tbsp fish sauce
5 Tbsp water
7 Tbsp rice flour
1 Tbsp cornflour
Oil for deep frying
Method
Preparation
Grind the batter ingredients together in a pestle and mortar. Then tip into a bowl before adding the flours and water.
Slice into the chicken to create pockets for the flavour to penetrate into the meat. Then place the chicken into the batter and mix well.
Fill the wok halfway up with oil and get it up to a medium to high heat. When you place a wooden chopstick into the wok the oil should bubble up around the chopstick.
Cooking
Now place the chicken in one piece at a time. Don’t overcrowd the wok, allow the chicken space to crisp up. Once the chicken is in, leave it to fry for 30 seconds, before moving it at all. After a minute turn the heat down to medium and allow the chicken to cook through for at least 12-15 minutes. Serve straight away. Enjoy!
