Directions

35 min
  1. 1

    Cut 1 piece of chicken breast (250g) in half along the grain, then slice at a diagonal into 1-1.5cm wide pieces. Make 3-4 shallow cuts on each piece.

  2. 2

    Add the ★ seasonings and marinate for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

  3. 3

    Add 4 tbsp potato starch and mix everything well together.

  4. 4

    Coat both sides of the chicken pieces generously with extra potato starch, making sure to coat the cuts as well. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Once the potato starch has absorbed the moisture and the surface feels dry, begin frying in medium-heat oil.

  6. 6

    When the surface is golden brown, remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.

Tips

If the flavor seems a bit mild, finish with a light sprinkle of salt to enhance the taste. The cuts can be adjusted to your preference - there's no fixed depth or number required. After coating with potato starch, waiting until about 80% of the surface turns brown and 20% remains white will maximize the crispiness.
