SAM CHOY'S CAPTAIN CRUNCH CHICKEN

Taken from hawaiinewsnow.com. Time to marinate IS NOT included in prep/cook time. Posted for ZWT. ETA: I have now made this chicken, tho I used boneless skinless breasts, as it is what I had on hand. The Cap'n Crunch cereal makes a tasty breading, and the marinade imparts a nice underlying flavor.

Time 40m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut in large cubes
3 cups cottonseed oil or 3 cups corn oil, for deep-frying
1/2 cup mochiko sweet rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 large eggs, beaten
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients, and marinate chicken overnight in refrigerator.
  • Allow excess marinade to drip off each piece before putting into oil.
  • deep-fry until done.

Tips:

  • For a crispier coating, ensure that the chicken is completely dry before dredging it in the Captain Crunch crumbs.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying the chicken to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F for optimal frying results. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature and ensure proper cooking. Allow the oil to come back to temperature between batches.
  • For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the Captain Crunch chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
