Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, quartered
  • 0.5 yellow onion, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups oil for frying, or as needed
  • 0.75 cup cornstarch
  • 0.5 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup very cold water, or as needed

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Make marinade: Stir together chicken, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until chicken is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 340 degrees F (171 degrees C).
  • While oil is heating, make batter: Whisk together cornstarch, flour, sugar, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in cold water until mixture resembles smooth pancake batter. Use tongs to remove chicken from marinade to batter; stir to coat chicken completely. Discard marinade.
  • Working in batches, fry chicken in hot oil for 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cooling rack.
  • Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Working in batches, fry chicken again in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
  • Enjoy!
