The Best Popcorn Chicken With Sweet Basil (Popular Taiwanese Str Recipe
Posted by
Ingredients:
- 1 cup thick soy sauce (use kimlan brand 'soy paste', or a thick terriyaki paste, but try the soy paste. it has a better fla)
- 1 tsp chinese five spice powder ( you can choose to omit this ingredient if you absolutely cannot find it , but it adds such a wonderf)
- 2 whole garlic cloves, minced. (cut a few into chips so that you can eat those deep fried too. it's really tasty!)
Directions:
- Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a dish or bowl. Mix wel.
- Cut Chicken into bite size pieces.
- Combine the mixture and the chicken together.
- Marinade overnight. (this can keep in the fridge for a few days).
- TO Fry: Heat oil to 390 degrees (anywhere from 375-390 should be fine).
- Thoroughly, coat the chicken with Potato Starch.
- Deep fry in small batches until medium golden brown. (about 1.5 mins ).
- Toss with Fresh Basil. You could also add the fresh basil into the oil, with the chicken, for the last 3 secs of frying, but the basil will lose some of its flavor. Be careful of the hot oil splattering when you add in basil.
- Finally, you can sprinkle some extra pepper, salt, and 5 spice onto the chicken if you'd like.
- Enjoy!
