Prep Time: ~15 minutes
Cooking Time: ~15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 Chicken Breast (or chicken wings, dark meat, etc.)
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- Cooking Oil (enough to submerge your chicken)
- Corn Starch (enough to coat your chicken)
- Dried Chili Pepper
- Salt and White Pepper
- Sprinkle of Chinese Five-Spice Powder
- Green Onions (optional)
- Fresh Jalapeno (optional)
Directions:
- Coat your chicken using a mixture of corn starch with dashes of salt and pepper. Coat evenly.
- Heat up your oil. Once hot, toss in your chicken to fry. Do not stir! Wait until it looks like the batter has solidified, otherwise your coating will fall off.
- Once evenly fried (~5 min), let chicken cool a little bit on a paper towel. After a few minutes of cooling, place it back in the oil for a quick flash fry. This ensures it will stay crisp throughout the meal.
- In a pan, heat up a little oil. Saute garlic and green onions. Toss in your seasonings and chicken. Stir well to coat.
Enjoy!
I'm thinking about uploading cooking videos on YouTube - is that preferable to pictures / text?
Looks yummy though I hate frying :(. I like pix/text because then I don't have to reach for my headphones (I'm so lazy). But I'm sure other readers love vids.
ReplyDeleteI prefer text recipes versus video unless it's a special cooking technique that needs demonstration. Pictures and text is usually enough.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the recipe! trying it this week :)
Text recipes work better for me! And I'm making this sometime this weekend - yummy!
ReplyDeletethat looks delicious!!! i prefer text and photo recipes unless there is something complicated that has to be shown.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! I miss the food my mom used to cook, and lazy daughter that I am, I never bothered to learn them all that well when I was at home. Now I'm scouring blogs for the recipes I remember, and I'm so glad that you've started posting them!
ReplyDeleteI like the written/pictures! It's nice to skip to to the recipe and different steps instead of having to watch the entire video!
Ladies - thanks so much! You just saved me a lot of video editing time :)
ReplyDeleteKeep them recipes rolling! I can tell by the ingredients and your pictures that these are yummy! I entirely trust your palate, haha! Archiving this recipe! :)

DeleteQuestion: How did you learn to make all these dishes? I feel like my mom never imparts on this type of knowledge on me.
