This is a famous signature Taiwaness night-market snack. Everyone loves it. My husband had it a lot when we visited Taiwan and this is his attempt to recreate it.
Ingreidients: chicken breasts (2-3 large pieces, cut into large cubes and marinated with soy-sauce), basil, hot spice powder (find it at your local Asian grocery store), 3-4 cups of oil (for deep frying of course).
Coating:
1. have one bowl of corn starch+salt+water,
2. have another bowl with flour+bread crumbs+salt+pepper and any other seasonings you would like.
1. Dip the chicken in the corn starch mixture and then in the flour mixture. repeat.
2. Heat the oil to around 350°F in a deep pot.
3. Fried the chicken until it is good and crispy. Add the basil before removing the chicken. 4. After a couple of more minutes, remove everything from the pot. Sprinkle the spice powder all over the chicken (amount as desired)
Enjoy it while it is hot! Now you can experience this yummy chicken right without flying half way around the world.
You can also fry green beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, fish cakes, yam cakes, etc. Just use the same batter. It will always be delicious.
