Description
Mochiko Chicken is a flavorful and crispy twist on traditional fried chicken, featuring a delightful blend of mochiko flour and soy sauce that creates a unique texture and taste.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup mochiko flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into 1-inch, bite-sized pieces.
- Mix all the other ingredients (mochiko flour, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, eggs, salt, garlic, and optional green onions) together in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken to the bowl, ensuring each piece gets coated in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Fill a small pot with vegetable oil, about 1 inch high. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces. Fry until they are crisp and golden brown, which takes about 6 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and let it drain on a paper towel. Serve with rice or your favorite side dish.
Notes
Allow the chicken to rest for a moment after frying to maintain its crispiness. You can also experiment with the marinade for added flavor.
