FRIED CHICKEN (CHINESE STYLE)
This is a staple fast food in Trinidad Chinese take out restaurants. Highly addictive. I posted this recipe without trying. Now that I have tried it, I must agree with the first reviewer that it was too salty. I have adjusted the salt. It is supposed to be a little bit salty but if you prefer you can use even less.

Tips:
- Use a combination of light and dark meat. This will give your fried chicken a more flavorful and juicy texture.
- Marinate the chicken overnight. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Use a light coating of flour. This will help the chicken stay crispy and won't weigh it down.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
