Which one is better, fried chicken or roasted chicken?

Both fried chicken and roasted chicken are delicious.

But you can’t eat too much fried chicken because the fat is too high.

Fried chicken that’s so delicious that you’ll cry

1. The air fryer cannot replace deep-frying. If you want to use an air fryer, just marinate it and fry it directly in the air fryer without coating it in flour. The skin will be sizzling with oil and very fragrant, but it is not as delicious as deep-frying.

2. A teaspoon is a small spoon, and a teaspoon of salt is about 6 grams. A tablespoon is a larger spoon used for eating. One tablespoon of light soy sauce is about 16 grams. Don't get it wrong, otherwise the salt seller will be beaten to death.

Ingredients?

1.5 pounds of chicken thighs with skin

2 cups of flour

2 cups of starch

2 eggs

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tsp minced ginger

2 tsp minced garlic

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon black pepper

Punch the chicken flat with your hands and then cut it into pieces. It's best to make sure there's a little chicken skin on each piece of chicken, so it tastes best when fried. The removed chicken leg bones can be kept in a plastic bag and used for making soup later.

Add light soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar, black pepper (Sichuan peppercorns are also acceptable), olives to the cut chicken oil (or the oil usually used for cooking), then mix well and marinate for more than half an hour. (I don’t have a big bowl at home, so I divided it into two bowls.)

Take a tablespoon of starch. What I use here should be tapioca flour, corn starch, or sweet potato starch.

A tablespoon of flour too. The ratio of starch to flour is 1:1.

Put the starch and flour in a large plate to make it easier to wrap the chicken. I usually start with one cup of flour and one cup of starch, and then add more when there is not enough. This way it's less likely to be wasted.

Use chopsticks to stir the starch and flour evenly.

Put the chicken pieces coated in egg liquid and flour on a plate to rest for a while, so that the egg liquid and flour can be in close contact for a longer time. Let's put it into the pot together later, the heat will be easier to control.

When the oil temperature comes up, about 60% hot, put the chicken pieces you just prepared into the oil pan and fry.

Don’t stir it with chopsticks immediately when you put it in. It’s okay if the chicken pieces stick together. When the fried shell becomes crispy, use chopsticks. It's easy to separate. It takes about three to four minutes to fry. This depends on the size of the chicken pieces. If you are not sure whether they are cooked or not, just taste one piece quietly. Hahahaha, it’s just so random.

Dry until the skin turns yellow and take it out.

Finally, fry it again over high heat. At this time, the oil temperature should be higher, 70% to 80% hot oil, and re-fry all the chicken pieces. Fry for one minute. The chicken nuggets have a crispy crust.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pretend you are eating salted crispy chicken. Dip it in some ketchup and it feels like you're eating KFC again. Real Japanese fried chicken should be eaten with mayonnaise. It tastes beyond your imagination, come and try it!
