Prepare and marinate the chicken
Wash 500g of chicken thigh fillets, debone them and use a knife to make a few cuts in the meat so that the seasoning can soak in evenly.

After marinating the meat, add 1 egg and 100g of potato flour to the bowl and mix the mixture well.
Heat a pan on the stove and fry the chicken twice. The first time, fry the chicken over medium heat to seal the surface and cook it just enough inside.
Then, remove the chicken, turn the heat up high and fry it a second time quickly to ensure the outer skin turns golden and crispy while keeping the moisture inside.
Note:
If you don’t have potato flour, you can substitute it with cornstarch or tempura flour.

Continue to add 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 20ml of sweetened condensed milk, 30g of cheese, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 teaspoon of pepper in turn.
Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fragrant, then turn off the heat. Squeeze a little lemon juice to give the sauce a light tangy flavor and richness.

How to choose good chicken:
- Good chicken will have a compact, firm body and a small breast.
- The chicken skin should have a shiny yellow color, with some areas being darker yellow like the wings, breast, back, and should not have any bruises or black spots.
- If the chicken skin is tough, uniformly shiny yellow but the fat is white, it indicates that the chicken has been injected with chemicals.
- The chicken meat should not have a rotten or foul smell.
- Use your hand to press the meat to check; if the meat is firm and elastic, it’s good chicken. However, if the meat is mushy, slippery, deformed, or indented, it should not be purchased to avoid health risks.
How to clean chicken properly to avoid odor
- Use a mixture of vinegar and salt in a 1:2 ratio to rub the chicken body several times, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Alternatively, you can use fresh ginger, smashed, along with a little white wine, and rub it on the chicken body for about 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Tips for storing and filtering excess cooking oil that is not used
- Prepare a filtering sieve, a bowl or glass pot, along with a container for the excess cooking oil. As mentioned above, cooking oil should be stored in a container made of plastic or glass. Of course, you should never pour it back into the bottle of oil you are currently using.
- Let the cooking oil cool completely. Place the filtering sieve over the glass bowl. You may also line it with an oil-absorbing paper.
- Wait for all the oil to be filtered; if you are meticulous, you can repeat this process several times. After that, pour the oil into a jar, seal it tightly, and store it in a cool place for when you need to take it out and use it.
