A “Restaurant Worthy” Dish!
This recipe was adopted from Marissa Steven’s website, Pinch & Swirl…and it is so GOOD. Using fresh ingredients with an easy preparation, this very popular chicken dish from Taiwan, is sure to please your family or guests and leave them craving for more.
You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts (or use 1 pound of each), just make sure that after you rinse off the chicken, that you then dry the chicken pieces off really well with a paper towel before placing the chicken in the hot oil.
