Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 pound chicken thighs, breast or wings
1/2 cup milk, if not using rice wine
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon rice wine, if not using milk
1/3 cup potato starch (or corn starch)
oil for deep frying

Directions: |
Directions:Remove any visible fat. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces if using breast or thighs.
Soak the chicken pieces in milk for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. This step is optional.
Drain well. Mix with the salt, pepper, rice wine (if you didn’t use milk), garlic, and ginger. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
Coat each chicken piece well with the potato (or corn) starch.
Pour about 1 inch of oil into a heavy-bottom pan. Use a narrow and deep pan if available. When the oil is sufficiently hot (330 degrees), drop the chicken pieces in one at a time. Fry them in two batches. Overcrowding will drop the oil temperature too quickly. Cook until light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and set them on a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate.
Reheat the oil to 330 degrees. Deep fry again until golden brown, about a minute or two. You can do the second frying in one batch. |

3 tablespoons cooking rice wine or Mirin
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar

Directions:In a pan, add all the sauce ingredients and stir well. Bring it to a boil. When it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the heat off. After chicken is completely cooked, heat the sauce over medium-low heat. Add the chicken and stir well until the chicken pieces are evenly coated. |
