4 servings

  • 8 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup rice wine
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ cup dried chili pod
  • ¼ cup rice wine
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar, may substitute with white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup green onion, chopped
  • white rice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup rice wine (240 ml), ¼ cup (60 ml) of soy sauce, and cubed chicken thighs. Stir and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour (125 g) and 1 tablespoon of salt.
  • Remove chicken from wine/soy marinade and place in flour mixture. Mix thoroughly, until all the chicken pieces are coated.
  • Fill a dutch oven or large pot at least 2 inches (5 cm) deep with vegetable oil. Heat oil to 365˚F (185˚C). Place chicken pieces in frying oil, stirring occasionally. Fry until they are golden brown, roughly 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken from oil and set aside to drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
  • In a large skillet, bring one tablespoon of vegetable oil to medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring frequently for one minute.
  • Add dried chili pods. Continue stirring for 30 seconds before adding rice wine, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sugar. Stir occasionally until mixture is bubbling.
  • Add cornstarch slurry, stirring frequently. The sauce should begin to thicken in a minute or less.
  • Add cooked chicken pieces, stirring them to coat with the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and rice.
