Garlic Fried Chicken

 

Ingredients:

2 chicken thighs (boneless, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces)

8 pcs. garlic cloves (peeled and leave whole)

3 tbsp. cooking oil

2 tbsp. water

1 sprig spring onion (cut into 1" long)

Marinade:

3/4 tbsp. fish sauce

1/2 tbsp. corn flour

1 tbsp. oyster sauce

1/4 tsp. ground white pepper

Methods:

1. Place the cut chicken pieces in a bowl.  Add marinade ingredients and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. In a heated wok add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil.  Fry the garlic cloves until light golden brown, remove onto a plate and set aside.
3. Remove excess oil from frying the garlic, leaving about 2 tablespoon and heat up the oil until medium heat.  Add chicken pieces and fry until golden brown.  Put the garlic back in and 2 tablespoons of water.  Stir well to ensure the chicken and garlic are well coated with the marinade seasonings.  Finally, add in spring onions, stir to mix and switch off heat.
4. Dish onto a serving plate and enjoy with a bowl of warm fluffy rice.
