    Ingredients:

    • 2 chicken breasts
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 cup sweet potato starch
    • 1/4 cup corn starch

    For Seasoning:

    • 1/2 cup soy sauce
    • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 Tbsp sugar
    • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
    • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
    • 1 Tbsp 5 spice powder
    • 1 tsp white pepper
    • oil for  frying

    How to make Chinese Fried Chicken:

    • To prep the chicken breasts, butterfly them, and pound them with a meat pounder until they’re evenly flat.
      In a large bowl, mix minced garlic, soy sauce, soy sauce , sugar, half of the 5 spice powder, white pepper.
    • Marinate the chicken in this sauce overnight.
      Next day, add egg yolk and corn starch into the marinated chicken and mix it well.
    • This is what keeps the coating from separating from the chicken.
      On a plate, mix sweet potato starch, rest of the 5 spice powder, and garlic powder.
    • This is the coating for the fried chicken.
      Place the marinated chicken breasts on the plate one by one and coat it completely with the mix.
    • Let it sit for about 5 mins before frying so that the sweet potato starch has time to stick onto the chicken.
      Heat a pot of frying oil under medium heat.
    • Make sure the oil is not bubbling or else it will cook the meat too fast.
    • If you’re using a deep fryer, do not exceed 160 C or 320 F.
      Fry the chicken until golden brown and remove from the oil.
    • Turn the heat to high or around 180 C or 360 F.
    • Dip the fried chicken back in to the hot oil for about 10 seconds to give it crispiness.
    • Place it on a metal rack to drain out the excess oil, then cut it up to serve.
    • Chinese Fried Chicken is ready to serve.
    • Serve hot.
