INSTRUCTIONS

  • using a mortar or food processor blend the  garlic, cilantro roots and salt until they become a fine paste.
  • mix the paste with the fish sauce, oyster sauce and ground black pepper and mix them well. Transfer the chicken to a airtight container or just simple ziploc bag and marinate the chicken at least 6 hours or best overnight.
  • When ready, heat up a pot of cooking oil or use a deep fryer. While waiting for the oil to heat up, mix the three types of flour together in a new Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and coat evenly with the flour mixture. Shake the excess flour off.
  • Drop the chicken gently into the oil and deep fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown (the inside should cook thoroughly but remains juicy). Transfer the fried chicken out on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
  • Serve the fried chicken im
