Marinate the chicken
Before marinating, use the tip of a scissors to poke small holes in the chicken meat, helping the seasoning penetrate deeper into the chicken.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, a little pepper, and chili powder to the chicken. Next, add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, a little water, along with minced garlic and shallots.
Mix the chicken well with the seasoning, and marinate for 20 – 30 minutes.

Dipping chicken in batter and rice flakes
Mix 100gr of crispy frying flour with a little water, adjusting it to a certain thickness and stickiness to adhere to the chicken meat.
Dip the steamed chicken in the crispy flour, evenly coating the chicken. Then, roll the chicken in the flattened rice flakes until the flakes evenly cover the chicken thighs.

Frying chicken
Place a pan on the stove and add 200ml of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken that has been dipped in the batter and rice flakes into the pan.
Fry until the chicken is golden and crispy, the rice flakes puff up, turn dark yellow, and adhere tightly to the chicken, then remove and drain the oil.
Tip:
- When frying chicken, you can use peanut oil or lard instead of regular cooking oil for a longer-lasting crispiness and beautiful golden color.
- During frying, you should keep the heat moderate to ensure the chicken remains tender and crispy.
