Equipment
- 1 frying pan
Ingredients
- 1 pcs chicken thigh fillet
Basic Seasoning
- 10 gr chicken powder
- 5 gr salt
- 2 gr sugar
- 2 gr pepper
Seasoning for 1 piece of chicken:
- ½ tsp basic seasoning
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp oyster sauce
Instructions
Basic Seasoning
- In a small container, mix chicken powder, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir well . You can prepare this basic seasoning in advance and store it in an airtight container for future use. For one chicken thigh, use 1/2 teaspoon of the basic seasoning, along with fish sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Stir until well combined.
Seasoning for Chicken
- Place the chicken thigh fillet in a bowl. Massage it thoroughly with the seasoning, making sure every piece is evenly coated. Cover with cling wrap and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a pan for deep frying. To test if the oil is ready, dip a bamboo stick or chopstick into it. If bubbles appear around it and faint smoke rises, the oil is hot enough. Carefully add the chicken.
Deep-frying
- Fry the chicken until it turns golden brown on each side. Once done, drain the excess oil. Slice the chicken to your preferred size. Serve with chili sauce and steamed white rice. Enjoy!

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 10-15 minutes, but for an even deeper flavor, keep it in the chiller overnight.
- Fry the chicken twice for an even crispier outer layer. Simply fry until golden, remove, let it rest for a few minutes, then fry again until perfectly crispy.
- Keep the oil temperature steady around 170°C (340°F). If the oil is too cool, the chicken will be greasy; too hot, and it might burn.
- Coconut oil is highly saturated, making it perfect for deep-frying. It creates a crisp, non-greasy finish.
- After frying, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. This helps retain its juices and makes slicing easier.
