Ingredients:

  • 2 Chicken Breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • Cooking Oil (enough for deep frying)
  • 1/2 Lemon (cut into wedges)

Marinade:

  • 1 tbsp Rice Wine
  • 1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce

  • 1 Egg Yolk

Deep-frying Flour: (mixed well)

  • 1 tbsp All-purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Table Salt

Method:

  1. 1. Add marinade to the chicken pieces. Coat them evenly in the deep-frying flour mixture.
  2. 2. Pour enough oil for deep-frying into the cold pot. Turn on medium heat and preheat up to 180°C. (If you don’t have a cooking thermometer, put a small piece of lemon peel into the oil. Heat the pot until the lemon peel floats and starts to turn dry.)
