- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/3 cup cornflour
Method
- Cut each thigh into 3 or 4 pieces, depending on the size
- In a large bowl mix together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sake/vinegar and salt. Add the chicken and mix well. leave to marinade for atleast 30 minutes
- Mix the flour and cornflour together in a bowl. Take the marinated chicken pieces and coat in the flour mixture, make sure the chicken is fully coated in the flour mix.
- Deep fry the chicken in hot oil (180-190c) for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. you may have to do this in batches. Drain the chicken in kitchen paper or on a rack while you cookthe rest
