Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 cups corn oil, for deep frying
3/4 cup egg whites
4 quarters skinless chicken, boned and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cornstarch
4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced yellow onion
3/4 tablespoon minced green onion
Pinch dried crushed red pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 minced serrano pepper
1/2 minced jalapeno pepper
Pinch garlic salt
Pinch garlic powder
1/2 cup hot chili oil, divided
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
2 cups freshly chopped green onions

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or deep-fryer heat oil to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with a handheld mixer until frothy. Place the chicken pieces into the egg whites, mixing until each piece is covered. Sprinkle with a pinch each of garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir to distribute.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in cornstarch, draining most of the egg white from chicken by picking up a handful and allowing the egg white to drain while moving to the cornstarch. Cover the pieces completely by turning in corn starch.
  • Pick up the chicken in handfuls and transfer from hand to hand to shake off most of the starch. If using a deep-fryer place the pieces into a fry basket. Lower into hot fry oil and shake basket after 10 to 15 seconds to make sure the pieces separate as they cook. Fry until the pieces float on top of the oil and are light brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. The chicken should appear somewhat dry, not oily, when the basket is lifted. If frying in a Dutch oven place pieces of chicken in hot oil and fry until light brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • For the garlic mixture:
  • In a small bowl, add all the garlic mixture ingredients and toss to thoroughly combine.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of hot chili oil and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil into a hot wok or saute pan over medium to high heat. Immediately put 4 tablespoons of the garlic mixture and 1/3 cup chopped green onions into the oil, stirring with a spoon to lightly cook the garlic mixture, being careful not to brown. Add approximately 2 cups of the fried chicken and toss to cover with the sauce. Finish them with a pinch of garlic salt. Toss once more and serve. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion, yellow, minced
1 tablespoon green onion, white and green parts, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes, crushed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 serrano pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch garlic powder
corn oil, for deep frying
3/4 cup egg white (from about 6 eggs)
2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 12 oz)
2 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 12 oz)
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 cups cornstarch
2 tablespoons hot chili oil, divided
2/3 cup green onion, white and green parts, chopped
1 pinch garlic salt

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the garlic mixture in a small bowl.
  • Heat about 5 inches of oil in a deep, heavy-bottom pan or deep fryer until a deep-fry thermometer reads 375 degrees. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with a hand held mixer until frothy. Add the chicken pieces, turning to coat each piece evenly. Season with garlic salt and black pepper and stir to distribute.
  • Put the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Lift the chicken from the egg whites, letting the excess liquid fall back into the bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the cornstarch, turning to coat evenly.
  • When ready to fry, pick up about half the chicken in handfuls and transfer from hand to hand to shake off most of the cornstarch. Carefully add the chicken to the oil. After 10 to 15 seconds, stir , or shake the deep-fry basket, to make sure the pieces aren't sticking together. Fry until the chicken floats to the top of the oil and is light brown, 3 to 5 minutes. (The chicken should appear somewhat dry, not oily, when lifted from the oil.) Drain on the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Heat a wok or skillet over medium to high heat and add 1 T of the hot chili oil and 1 t of the sesame oil. Add half the garlic mixture and half the green onions and stir-fry, taking care not to let the garlic brown. Add half the fried chicken and toss to coat wiith the sauce. Season with the garlic salt and toss once more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and chicken.
  • Serve.

  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pot.

  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10 minutes per batch.
  • While the chicken is frying, make the garlic sauce. This can be done by combining garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices in a blender or food processor.

  • Serve the Pollo Diablo with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
