• 2 g corn starch

What it concludes

• Baking soda raises the pH of the meat, making proteins harder to bond and resulting in more tender, juicier chicken breast.
• Corn starch gelatinizes faster than wheat starch, making for a crispier crust that is less prone to absorbing oil.
• Double-frying the chicken nuggets, first at a low temperature and then at a high temperature, dehydrates the crust and creates extra crispiness.
• Grating ginger and garlic helps them melt into the sauce much better than rough chopping.
