Preparation
Step 1
Wash and drain the chicken well. Using a fork, prick the chicken pieces all over.
Step 2
Now marinate chicken pieces with flour, corn flour, ginger paste, garlic paste, soya sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, chili powder, ground cinnamon, paprika, Chinese salt and black pepper powder
Step 3
Cover with cling film and put the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight
Step 4
Next, mix half a cup of flour with half tsp. salt and half tsp. chili powder. Put this in a plastic bag
Step 5
Now, 2 pieces at a time, put the chicken in the flour bag and shake to make sure each piece is well coated with the flour. This helps give the chicken a perfect rough and crispy surface
Step 6
Heat oil on high, add the chicken pieces without crowding the pan. You can do them in 2-3 batches. Lower the heat and deep-fry each batch for about 15 minutes, making sure to turn the chicken pieces once or twice in the oil in order to get them golden on all sides.
Step 7
Drain on kitchen towels and serve with fries and some garlic sauce
