Chicken is a favorite dish of many families, especially young children. Accordingly, fish sauce chicken will bring a new and interesting experience to help change the taste of family meals on weekends.
Housewives need to prepare 500g of fresh chicken wings or chicken thighs and 150g of crispy frying flour. The sauce needs delicious fish sauce, granulated sugar, chili sauce, 1 clove of garlic, 1 shallot and ground pepper. Combining chili sauce with fish sauce not only helps reduce the pungent taste of sugar but also creates a thickness and eye-catching color.
Perform the preliminary processing and marinating step of the chicken, in which after rubbing salt, washing and draining thoroughly, gently slice a few lines to absorb the spices.
Marinate the chicken with minced shallots, pepper and seasoning for about 20 minutes. To make the chicken cook evenly from the inside out when frying, housewives can briefly steam the chicken for about 5 minutes before rolling the dough.
The secret to having a crispy crust is to roll the flour evenly in two layers, divide 150g of crispy frying flour into two parts, one part mixed with filtered water to create a thick mixture, the rest is kept as dry flour. Dip the chicken pieces in a bowl of wet flour one by one, then roll through the dry flour layer so that the flour sticks evenly to the meat.
Next, heat the oil until hot and then reduce to medium heat, put each piece of chicken in to fry until the shell is firm and turns pale yellow, then take it out to drain the oil. The technique of frying over two main heats will help the chicken shell be crispy longer.
Continue to heat another pan with a little cooking oil, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then pour in the mixture of fish sauce, sugar, chili sauce and simmer until the sauce starts to stick together.
Put all the crispy fried chicken in the sauce pan, stir quickly over high heat for about 1 minute so that the fish sauce evenly sticks to each piece of chicken, then turn off the heat immediately to help keep the dish more flavorful.
Fish sauce chicken dish can be enjoyed with hot rice or eaten with salad to fully enjoy the flavor.
