Deep-Fried Marinated Chicken

Step 1

Make ginger juice by grating the ginger and squeezing the gratings in a cloth to extract the juice. There should be about one tablespoon.

Step 2

Mix ginger juice and all other marinade ingredients in a bowl.

Step 3

Cut chicken, with skin, into generous bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Add chicken pieces to marinade and mix thoroughly with your hands. Marinate 30 minutes.

Step 5

Bring a generous amount of oil to medium temperature (340 degrees) in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer.

Step 6

Drain the marinade from the chicken and dust the chicken lightly with flour. Use your hands to toss and coat individual pieces thoroughly. Let coated chicken rest for two to three minutes.

Step 7

Slide chicken into hot oil, a few pieces at a time. Turn and separate individual pieces as they deep-fry. Skim the oil occasionally. As the chicken is finished, remove and drain on absorbent paper toweling. Keep hot.
