Ingredients
- 400 g chicken knuckles
- 60 g tempura flour
- 45 ml water
- 2 g white pepper
- 15 ml fish sauce
- 4 g white sesame seeds
- 1 head garlic
- oil as needed for deep-frying
Instructions
- Combine chicken knuckles, tempura flour, white sesame seeds, white pepper, and fish sauce in a bowl. Add water and stir until you achieve a smooth consistency. The batter should be just thick enough to coat the chicken, but not too heavy. Set aside while you prepare the crispy garlic.
- Crush garlic with a mortar and pestle (or chop it if you don't have one).
- In a pan, heat a large amount of oil and gently fry the garlic until golden and crispy. Be careful to watch it closely to avoid burning.
- Once done, remove the crispy garlic and set aside to drain.
- Using the same oil as used for the garlic, fry the battered chicken knuckles at 350°F (175°C) until golden and crispy, about 3–5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve immediately, topped with crispy garlic and your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
