Garlic Fried Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients:
10-12 chicken drumsticks
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1-2 tbsp crushed garlic
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp Chinese rice wine
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 egg
2-3 heaped tsp cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cornstarch
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Marinade:
1. Use a knife to slit the drumsticks a few times, as demonstrated in the video.
2. In a bowl, mix together the salt, white pepper, sugar, bouillon powder, crushed garlic, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and soy sauce.
3. Beat the egg and mix in 2-3 heaped teaspoons of cornstarch to make a marinade batter.
4. Add the chicken drumsticks and marinade batter to a ziplock bag or bowl. Marinate for 2-3 hours in the fridge.
For the Coating:
1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and 1 tsp cornstarch.
2. Remove drumsticks from the marinade and dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture until fully coated.
3. Place the coated drumsticks on a plate or baking sheet.
For Frying:
1. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet or pot to 350°F.
2. Fry the coated drumsticks for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
3. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and sides like steamed rice or vegetables. Enjoy!

Your chicken looks FABULOUS!! And your presentation was SPECTACULAR!!!! I’m hooked to you & your channel!!!!!😘

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Thank you 😁👍👍👍👍

[@oluwadare12]

This looks 100% better than KFC!!! Great job❤️🔥🔥

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Thank you 😁👍👍👍

[@jamesgarner2103]

i was gonna say the same. cutting into the chicken to give it more surface area was very clever.

[@arxarx6795]

It is. I already made it twice. 😂😇
@CantoneseFoodRecipes: You are the man!!! Thanks so much.

[@jlastre]

Korean Fried Chicken?

[@arxarx6795]

@@jlastre according to CantoneseFoodRecipes, who made the video, he said it’s Chinese style fried chicken so I’ll take his word for it. I can tell you it’s really good.
With that said, I would love to try Korean style fried chicken someday. Heard it’s awesome.

[@angelh1608]

I adore garlic 🧄!! The more the merrier!! ❤❤❤

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Absolutely 😁👍

I should have been named GARLIC 😂😂😂
LOOKS DELICIOUS 😋❤

[@iriswilliams2266]

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FRIED CHICKEN THAT I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME, EXCEPT FOR MOM'S OF COURSE.
I WILL TRY YOUR RECIPE, I MAY NOT USE ALL OF YOUR INGREDIENTS. I MAY NOT FIND THE DIFFERENT FLAVORINGS THAT YOU PUT ON YOUR CHICKEN, BUT I WILL DO THE BASIC'S OF WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT US AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. "PEACE"

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

My pleasure, thank you😁👍👍👍

[@purplemariposa6067]

Negative comments?!! Where?!! Can't see anything with all the love showering from most of the top comments! ❤ Keep it going, Chef! 🫶🏼🙏🏼

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Much appreciated, thanks 😁👍👍👍

[@user-kg4gv5tv1e]

Thank u very much

[@EreneNazaret]

Don't mind the critics, i love the way you did it. It looks yummy. ❤

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Much appreciated 😁👍👍👍

[@Tomes23]

I agree. Everyone is a Michelin chef in the comments.

[@StarkeyatRingo]

You teach the BEST Way , absolutely makes it fool-proof!

[@marciakipp3633]

"Thank you"! Did not know about a 'second fry"! Will definitely try your technique!...

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Cool😁👍👍👍

[@derrickheidweiller9580]

Same double fry is aplicable for french fries

[@mindaconsolacion9587]

Double fry really makes it crunchier,,,that’s what I do, too,, Good job,,young chef,,

[@user-uu4nh5hi9s]

I'm a Southern woman and this looks great gotta try it 😊

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Awesome 😁👍

[@sunrise2sunset515]

4 Minutes into this video and I'm Subscribing. Thumbs up for all ur effort put into this video. May u continue to prosper. Never mind the critic's Most of them can't cook anyway 😂😂😂 ❤

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Much appreciated, thank you😁👍👍👍

[@Misana]

People were criticizing him?

[@angelh1608]

Same! Lol

[@sunrise2sunset515]

@Misana in the comments some were more focused on a feather or 2 they might have seen. The idea is to take the lessons of cooking methods into our homes for delicious meals. They can clean their own chicken better at home. Focus on what he delivers amd he is doing a great job btw💕

[@arxarx6795]

I beat you. It took only 2 minutes to do the same 😂

[@sheilacom3020]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Ignore negative comments

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

You're welcome, thanks😁👍👍👍

[@firelioness363]

Remember folks you want the chicken to cook all the way through make sure the chicken is room temperature it does a world of difference...👍

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

Cool

[@dynamicsoulslayer]

No it really doesn't, the double fry is substantial enough. Health and safety #1 you never leave fresh chicken out to get to "room temp".

[@LeeIsLovingLife]

This cutting technique allows for even cooking right from the fridge.

[@KaShiGaines111]

Wow! I’ll be trying this a try chef! New subbie ❤

[@jeannetaylor2217]

[@gerahuey3706]

Thank you for doing your thing- YOUR WAY!!!Reading a lot of these comments - people are sooooo petty AND thats why you do your thing AND they don't have a channel, but they sit they're negative butts on the sofa and complain!!!
😂😂😂

[@soloangel625]

You are right. Have a great day. Good recipe here yummy fried chicken 🙏Enjoy

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

I do this for fun😅

[@vilnap3002]

He did a good job with the nasty chicken. If I make this I will just clean the chicken. It was a bit hard to watch but I stuck through to the end. If I ate his prep I would be 🤮💩.
I love learning new methods. But do. Understand a lot of people would get sick that’s why they are freaking out

[@sabordosacoresleonorsantos445]

Yummy chicken soo crispy

[@cocolamo6626]

How do you know it wasn't precleaned before he started recording the video?

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

[@litalavoie5937]

Thanks for demonstrating how to cut into the drumstick and preserving the meat and skin. I usually cut into the drumstick but it doesn’t look as neat as yours. As for cooking, do you have to fry twice? Will it not be as crispy? Your chicken looks delicious!

[@CantoneseFoodRecipes]

I fry a few minutes to form a crust as I fry in batches on medium heat, once all chicken is done I turn the heat on high to fry second time and it makes the crust crispy and cooks and keeps the juiciness of the chicken meat

[@joeblowjohnny2297]

That looks like the world 🌎 best dam fried chicken ! I will definitely try it ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! 💓 🎉
