Instructions

1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a container you'll use for marinating.
-
2
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the chicken, along with the soy sauce, ground white pepper, sugar, egg, and cooking wine.
-
3
Cover, place in the refrigerator, and let it marinate for at least 3 hours.
-
4
Open a bottle of wine and enjoy it while you wait.
-
5
Shake off any excess marinade, then coat each piece of chicken evenly with the tapioca starch. Let it rest for 5 minutes so the coating sticks to the chicken.

First Fry: Heat the oil over medium low heat to 320°F (160°C). Fry the chicken until lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, then remove it from the oil. Since the chicken is cut into small pieces, it cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it.

Second Fry: Increase the oil temperature to 355°F (180°C), then return the chicken to the oil for 10 to 20 seconds to crisp it up. Transfer to a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
