Special Soy Garlic Chicken
The Harmonious Blend of Soy Sauce and Garlic Chicken
I never order chicken from restaurants; I prefer to make it myself, even if it’s a little bit of effort. Or rather, it’s not bothersome at all – I find joy in cooking! Please cook and enjoy this with clean oil at home!
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken drumettes (one bag)
- 500g potato starch
- 3 egg whites only
Sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (maesil cheong)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 chili pepper (finely chopped)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (maesil cheong)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 chili pepper (finely chopped)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the 3 egg whites. You can easily whip them into a meringue, as fluffy and soft as whipped cream, using a whisk tool from Tupperware or an electric mixer. Set aside the finely whipped egg whites.
Step 2
After preparing and cleaning the raw chicken drumettes, first coat them thoroughly with the whipped egg white meringue. Then, meticulously coat each drumette with potato starch, ensuring an even layer for a crispy finish.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to fry the chicken. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil with high thermal conductivity, such as canola oil or grapeseed oil, in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated chicken drumettes into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Once fried, briefly place them on a plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4
While the fried chicken is resting, let’s make the delicious soy garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, plum extract, sugar, minced garlic, and a small amount of finely chopped chili pepper. Gently simmer this mixture over low heat. The chili adds a delightful kick and deepens the sauce’s flavor profile.
Step 5
Transfer the fried chicken drumettes into the warm soy garlic sauce and toss them quickly to coat evenly. Ensure each piece is beautifully glazed with the sauce for that irresistible shine.
Step 6
Voila! You’ve created a homemade special soy garlic chicken that tastes even better than any store-bought version. Enjoy this truly exceptional chicken, made with your own hands, for a delightful meal. The flavor of your effort and care is truly unmatched!
