Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the chicken properly with the spices and rice wine.
  • Control the oil temperature (160 °C then 195 °C) for each fry.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot during the first fry.
  • Observe the 15‑minute rest time between the two fries.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning onto the still‑hot chicken for optimal adhesion.

Safety Warnings

  • Frying oil reaches very high temperatures; use a thermometer and never leave unattended.
  • Handle hot utensils with mitts or tongs.
  • Avoid oil splatter by adding the chicken gently.
