Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (cubed)
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1/2 tbsp soy sauce (light)
1/2 tbsp chinese five spice powder
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cornstarch

thai basil (if desired)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp chinese five spice powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a bowl, marinate the chicken in the garlic, soy sauce, five spice, garlic powder, white pepper, and salt for 30 minutes. If you are air frying or baking, add a 1/2 tablespoon oil to the marinade.
  • Lightly pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place the cornstarch and potato starch in a bowl and, working in batches, toss and coat several pieces of chicken, making sure they are well coated. Alternatively, put the cornstarch and potato starch in a bag or container, add the chicken, and shake to coat. The chicken should be well coated and look fairly dry.

THE BEST POPCORN CHICKEN WITH SWEET BASIL (POPULAR TAIWANESE STR



The Best Popcorn Chicken With Sweet Basil (Popular Taiwanese Str image

I prepare and serve this popcorn chicken at a small cafe in Seattle. *** For this recipe, you may use boneless pork loin chop (pounded down 1/4 inch thick), chicken wings, drumsticks, or chicken breast. You must try the Potato Starch! It gives the chicken a light and pleasant crisp! The basil can be eaten together with the chicken. It's a delicious combo.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 lb) package boneless skinless chicken thighs (Cut into bite size pieces)
1 cup thick soy sauce (use Kimlan brand 'Soy Paste', or a thick Terriyaki paste, but try the Soy paste. It has a better fla)
1/4 cup sweet cooking rice wine (Try Kikkoman brand Aji-Mirin or any other brand)
3 tablespoons white pepper
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder (you can choose to omit this ingredient if you absolutely cannot find it , but it adds such a wonderf)
2 whole garlic cloves, minced. (cut a few into chips so that you can eat those deep fried too. it's really tasty!)
3 tablespoons sugar (sugar or brown sugar = 2 tablsp) or 3 tablespoons brown sugar (sugar or brown sugar = 2 tablsp)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
10 ounces sweet potato flour (aka SWEET POTATO starch, used for the coating of chicken)
sweet fresh Thai basil (not the Italian Basil)

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a dish or bowl. Mix wel.
  • Cut Chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Combine the mixture and the chicken together.
  • Marinade overnight. (this can keep in the fridge for a few days).
  • TO Fry: Heat oil to 390 degrees (anywhere from 375-390 should be fine).
  • Thoroughly, coat the chicken with Potato Starch.
  • Deep fry in small batches until medium golden brown. (about 1.5 mins ).
  • Toss with Fresh Basil. You could also add the fresh basil into the oil, with the chicken, for the last 3 secs of frying, but the basil will lose some of its flavor. Be careful of the hot oil splattering when you add in basil.
  • Finally, you can sprinkle some extra pepper, salt, and 5 spice onto the chicken if you'd like.
  • Enjoy!
