4. Tips:
- You can make this recipe using boneless chicken, too.
- The longer the chicken is marinated, the more flavoursome it will be.
- Mix rice flour with cornflour for extra crispiness.
- Make sure to fry the chicken in medium-hot oil. It will be cooked only on the outside if you fry it in hot oil and it will be undercooked and will soak oil if you fry it in cold oil.
