Method:
Wash and drain the chicken well.
Using a fork, prick chicken pieces all over.
Now marinate chicken pieces with flour, cornflour, ginger paste, soya sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, chili powder, ground cinnamon, paprika, chinese salt and black pepper powder.
Cover with cling film and put the bowl inrefrigerator for a least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Next, mix half of a cup of flour with half tsp salt and half tsp Chili powder.
Put this in a plastic bag.
Now 2 pieces at a time, put the chicken in the flour bag shake to make sure each piece is well coated with flour.
This helps give the chicken a perfect rough and crispy surface.
Heat oil on high.
Add the chicken pieces without crowding the pan.
You can do them in 2-3 batches.
Lower the heat and deep fry each batch for about 15 minutes, making sure to turn the chicken pieces once or twice in the oil in order to get them golden on all sides.
Drain on kitchen towels.
Serve with fries and some garlic sauce.
