How to Choose Ingredients
How to choose good chicken breast
- To prepare a delicious dish, you should choose chicken breasts with white skin, as these come from larger chickens which have firmer and more flavorful meat, while younger chickens often have softer meat.
- If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the layer of fat on the chicken. You should choose the fat that is white to ensure tastier meat.
- Choose pieces of breast with fewer stripes in the meat. The more stripes present, the lower the amount of fat and protein, and these stripes will also make it harder for the chicken to absorb seasonings and sauces during cooking.

Prepare the chicken breast
After purchasing the chicken breast, you should soak it in diluted salt water for about 7 – 10 minutes, using your hands to gently massage to clean the chicken meat.
Then rinse the chicken breast with clean water and let it drain.
Wait for the chicken to dry, then place it on a plate, season it with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Use your hands to evenly rub the salt and vinegar all over the meat, then let it sit for about 10 – 15 minutes for the chicken to absorb the flavor.

Fry the chicken breast
Place a pan on the stove and add 1 cup of cooking oil to the pan, then proceed to heat it up.
When the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken breast to the pan and fry over medium heat to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and looks appealing.
Continue frying until the chicken is golden brown on both sides. You can cover the pan while frying to prevent oil splatter.

Tips for storing and filtering leftover cooking oil
- Prepare a strainer, a bowl or glass pot, and a container for storing leftover cooking oil. As mentioned above, cooking oil should be stored in plastic or glass containers. Of course, you should never pour the used oil back into the oil bottle.
- Let the cooking oil cool down completely. Place the strainer over the glass bowl. You can also line it with a paper towel.
- Wait for the oil to be fully filtered; if you are meticulous, you can do this multiple times. Then pour the oil into a jar, seal it tightly, and place it in a cool, dry place until you need to use it.
