Instructions
Debone the thigh section of your chicken quarter. To do this, you want to slowly make cuts along the bone of the thigh. Then slowly scrape away the meat from the bone of the thigh, removing the bone from the meat.
Into a bowl mix together flour, corn starch, and all the seasonings. This is your seasoning flour.
Take ¼ cup + 1 tbsp of your seasoning flour and add it into another bowl. Mix this with an egg, and ¼ cup of water. This is your wet batter.
Add your chicken into the wet batter making sure that it is completely coated.
Drop chicken into the dry seasoning flour and coat well until there are no more wet spots.
Place into hot oil at 350F for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken in cooking, I like to cook the remaining components.
Sauce Instructions
Into a pan, mix together all the sauce ingredients, bring it up to a simmer and reduce to your desired consistency.
Fried Rice Instructions
Into a high heat pan add oil, and scramble an egg.
Add garlic and diced scallions, stir 30 seconds.
Add day old rice along with soy sauce, white peppers, sweet soy sauce, crispy garlic, oyster sauce, and frozen vegetables. Stir until combined and ready to eat.
Serving
Pour our sauce on top of the fried chicken, serve with fried rice, a crispy fried egg and green onions.
