Answers: How do you make Taiwanese fried chicken at home?

• Taiwanese fried chicken
• Pepper salt sprinkle
• Deep frying chicken
• Potato starch coating
• Fried Thai basil

Ingredients

• white peppercorns
• Sichuan peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Chinese five-spice
• ginger
• 1 clove garlic
• soy sauce
• Japanese mirin
• potato starch
• chicken breast
• eggs
• water
• Thai basil

What it concludes

• Coating chicken in potato starch instead of flour results in a lighter and crisper texture.
• Tenderizing chicken breast with a heavy pestle or meat mallet breaks down fibers and makes it more tender.
• Adding potato starch to the marinade helps the coating bind to the chicken.
• A pepper and salt sprinkle immediately after frying adds intense flavor without needing a dipping sauce.
