Garlic Soysauce Chicken

Garlic soysauce chicken

Ingredients

1kg chicken drumsticks, washed and drained 1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon minced ginger

¾ cup potato starch or corn starch 6 cups vegetable oil

2-3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons soy sauce 4 tablespoons honey

⅓ cup crushed peanut or sliced almond (optional)

Directions

Prepare chicken drumsticks

Make 2 to 3 cuts in the chicken drumsticks, but do not slice through. (That makes chicken cook

fully to the inside.)

Put the chicken in a bowl and mix with salt, ginger and ground black pepper by hand.

Put ¾ cup starch in another bowl and dip each drumstick in the powder to coat it, one by one.

Squeeze each drumstick to press the coating to it tightly.

Fry the chicken

Put 6 cups of cooking oil in a frying pan or pot and heat it up for 7 to 8

minutes over high heat.

See if the oil’s ready by putting a small starch lump into it. If the oil bubbles, it’s hot

enough to start frying. Slide the coated drumsticks one by one into the hot oil and cook for about

10 to 13 minutes, turning over a few times with tongs. Keep the heat medium.

Take the drumsticks out of the oil and shake them off in a strainer. Turn off the heat, and let the

drumsticks sit for a few minutes.

Reheat the oil and fry the drumsticks again for another 3 to 5 minutes until they

all look golden brown and feel super crunchy through the tongs. If your frying pan or

pot is not large enough to fry all the chicken at once, divide it into batches.

Make the garlic soy sauce and Coat the fried chicken with the sauce

When the chicken is done, make the garlic soy sauce.

Put minced garlic, soy sauce and honey in a large non-stick pan or wok. Heat it

over medium heat. Stir with a spoon and let it bubble for a few minutes.

After turn off the heat, add the hot chicken and mix well with a spoon to coat.

Transfer the coated chicken to a large platter. Sprinkle some peanuts or almonds over

top

and serve.
