How to make Garlic Sauce Chicken Rice

• 1

  Prepare the chicken

  You rinse the chicken thighs briefly with water, then soak them in diluted salt for 15 minutes to remove all impurities. Next, rinse the chicken thoroughly 2 – 3 more times with water.

  Boil 1 liter of water on the stove, when the water boils, add the chicken thighs and boil for 10 – 12 minutes until the chicken is cooked evenly.

  To make the chicken more fragrant, add 1 liter of water to a pot along with 1 crushed ginger root and bring to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, place the chicken thighs in and blanch for another 1 – 2 minutes, then remove the chicken and let it drain.

  Next, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce on the chicken thighs, then wear plastic gloves and massage both sides of the thighs thoroughly. To make the chicken crispier when frying, add 2 teaspoons of tapioca flour on the chicken thighs and spread it evenly on both sides.

  Effective methods to eliminate the odor of chicken:

  • Method 1: Rub the chicken with a mixture of salt and vinegar in the ratio of 2:1 for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water several times.
  • Method 2: You can also replace vinegar with lemon; just rub a few slices of lemon with a little salt on the chicken, then rinse with clean water.
  • Method 3: Crush 1 ginger root and mix it with a little white wine, rub this ginger wine mixture onto the chicken and let it sit for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  Fry the chicken

  You pour 500ml of oil into a pan, when the oil is hot, gently add the chicken thighs and fry over medium heat. To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, you should fry the chicken in deep oil.

  Additionally, while frying, you should also use a ladle to drizzle oil over the chicken to help it have a golden and crispy skin.

  When the chicken thighs are cooked and have a beautiful golden color, you take them out and let them drain oil.

  Tip: When frying, you can add a little salt, a few chili peppers, or some flour and tapioca starch to the oil to prevent it from splattering.
