Ingredients
MARINADE
- 18 ounces chicken drumsticks, wings, or thighs
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons crispy flour
- 2 tablespoons water
SPICY SAUCE
- 2 tablespoons ketchup tomato
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes to taste
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Combine white pepper, crispy flour, and water in a big mixing bowl.
- Coat the chicken drumsticks or your cut of chicken with the marinade and let it rest in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to a steady 350°F or 180°C in a deep pot, deep-fryer, or wok and add the marinated chicken pieces to it. Fry them for about 12 to 15 minutes, aiming for a golden-brown hue and an internal temperature of 165°F for fully-cooked chicken. Make sure to flip them a couple of times for even cooking. Once they're done, transfer them to a wire rack or paper towels to let them drain.
- While the chicken is resting, make the sauce. In a large wok or skillet over medium heat, combine red chili flakes, oyster sauce, white sugar, chili sauce, ketchup, water, and salt. Stir and cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Toss the chicken into the wok and thoroughly coat each piece. Serve immediately.
