Juicy and crispy five spice fried chicken made with Yóu Yóu tea seed oil.
Prep Time: 10 mintes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Marinate: min 60 minutes
Serving Size: 2-3 (appetizer)
Ingredients:
| 1.5 lbs | chicken wings (or other cuts) |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Yóu Yóu tea seed oil for frying |
Dry Mix:
| ½ cup | all purpose flour |
|---|---|
| ½ cup | cornstarch |
| 1 tsp | five spice powder |
| ¼ tsp | paprika |
Chicken Marinade:
| 1 tsp | five spice powder |
|---|---|

|---|
Instructions:
- Marinate chicken with marinade ingredients for at least one hour. Marinate overnight for best results.
- Create the dry mix by mixing together all the ingredients.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium high heat. You want enough oil to cover the chicken half way.
- Fry the chicken till they are crispy and flip them halfway through. Wings should take about 8-10 minutes to fry and drumsticks take about 12-14 minutes. If you want them ultra crispy, put them back in a second time and double fry for a couple minutes. You can save the used oil and refrigerate it for reuse.
- Plate and garnish with some freshly chopped green onions, cilantro and chilies.
