Instructions

  1. Rinse the chicken with water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. To prepare the cilantro juice, trim off the bottom 2 inches (5 cm) of the cilantro stems. Using a mortar and pestle, pound the stems to extract the juice, then use your hand to squeeze out any remaining liquid.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the shrimp sauce, sugar, egg white, sesame oil, cilantro juice, corn starch, and flour until smooth. Add the chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 4 to 6 hours.
  3. When ready, heat a pot of cooking oil or preheat a deep fryer. Gently drop the chicken into the oil and deep fry until crispy and golden brown, ensuring the inside is fully cooked but remains juicy. Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  4. Serve the fried chicken immediately with chili sauce on the side.
