Deep Fried Chicken Salted Egg
Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– Oil for frying
Salted Egg Sauce:
– 3 salted egg yolks
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon curry leaves
– 2 bird’s eye chilies, chopped (optional)
– 1 tablespoon condensed milk
– 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper together.
2. Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat them evenly in the flour mixture. Repeat the process for a double coating for extra crispiness.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C). Fry the chicken in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
4. To make the salted egg sauce, steam the salted egg yolks for 15 minutes or until cooked. Mash the yolks into a fine paste and set aside.
5. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add curry leaves and bird’s eye chilies if using, and cook for another minute.
6. Stir in the mashed salted egg yolks, condensed milk, and sugar. Cook the sauce until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
7. Once the sauce is ready, pour it over the crispy fried chicken and toss to coat evenly.
8. Serve the Deep Fried Chicken Salted Egg hot, garnished with additional curry leaves and chilies for extra flavor and a pop of color.
