Method
- Begin by preparing the chicken thighs. Wash and clean them thoroughly, then cut them into 3 cm pieces. Pat dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- Add rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, and soy sauce to the bowl with the chicken. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate. For deeper flavour, marinate overnight if possible.
- After marinating, drain any excess sauce from the chicken. Then, add the beaten eggs to the bowl and toss the chicken until evenly coated.
- Lightly coat each piece of chicken with corn starch or potato starch, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Heat oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- As the chicken finishes frying, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
