1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • Rinse chicken, drain and pat with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl combine next 6 ingredients (soy sauce- ginger), stirring until salt& sugar dissolve.
  • Add chicken to bowl, tossing so all the pieces are coated with mixture.
  • Marinate for 1-2 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator.
  • Drain marinade and discard.
  • Wipe chicken pices dry with paper towels.
  • Pour the oil into wok or deep-fryer and heat over med high heat until oil forms a haze or it registers 375-degrees F on deep frying thermoter.
  • Put flour in plastic or paper baggies.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from the sauce. The chicken was still delicious and crispy.
