Thai Crispy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

200g. chicken thigh fillet (cut into bite sized pieces)

3 garlic cloves (peeled)

2 coriander roots (cut into smaller pieces)

1 tsp. white peppercorns

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tbsp. oyster sauce

1/2 tbsp fish sauce

1/4 tsp. sugar

1/2 cup cornflour

Oil for deep frying

1 tbsp. crispy fried garlic

Coriander leaves (garnish)

Methods:

1. Pound garlic, coriander roots, peppercorns and salt to a rough paste.  Place paste in a large bowl with chicken, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sugar.  Though this recipe doesn't needs long marinating time, but I let mine marinate for 1-2 hours.
2. Fill a pan with cooking oil of 1/3 capacity.  Heat over high heat.
3. When oil is ready to fry, take half of the chicken and coat with cornflour.  Toss and press the flour into the chicken pieces, dust off excess flour and carefully place them into the oil.  Cook and turn over the chicken, until golden.  Transfer to a tray with kitchen paper.  Repeat until all is done.
4. To serve: transfer the fried chicken to a serving plate, sprinkle with crispy fried garlic and garnish with coriander leaves.

I adapted this recipe from 'Marion's Kitchen' with slight adjustment to the portion that I am cooking.
