  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 large Egg

  • 2 tablespoons Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch mixed with Water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Create Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and cold water. Gradually add to dry ingredients, mixing gently.
  3. Coat Chicken: Dip chicken pieces into batter, ensuring an even coating, then let excess batter drip off.
  4. First Frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken in batches for 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
  5. Rest Chicken: Allow fried chicken to rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  6. Second Frying: Increase oil temperature to 360°F (180°C). Fry chicken for another 5 minutes until extra crispy.
  7. Make Sauce: Combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small pot. Bring to a boil.
  8. Thicken Sauce: Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir into the boiling sauce and cook until thickened.
  9. Coat Chicken in Sauce: Toss fried chicken in prepared sauce until well coated. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Double frying is key for the best crispy texture.
  • Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
