    Cut 600g of chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add all the ★ seasonings and massage well by hand. Let rest for about 10 minutes.

    For even better flavor, leave the chicken in the refrigerator for half a day to allow the seasoning to fully absorb.

    Add 6 tbsp of potato starch and mix thoroughly until well combined. Let rest for about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Deep-fry the chicken thighs in heated oil until the surface turns golden brown, then drain the oil.

  6. 6

    Serve on a plate alongside shredded cabbage or other vegetables, and sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper if desired.

  7. 7

    You can also shallow-fry the chicken in a frying pan with about 5mm of oil.

  8. 8

    Oil splatter may occur while frying, so use long chopsticks or tongs and carefully turn the pieces.
