Hawaiian Garlic Fried Chicken

Just Jenn Recipes

2 pounds chicken, cut into bite sized chunks
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup panko
3 Tablespoons garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
oil for frying

dipping sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger

Start with the sauce by whisking all the ingredients in a small bowl, until dissolved. Set aside.

Prep a pan with oil, I’d say about 1″ deep. Heat to medium high.

In a freezer bag, combine the flour, panko, garlic salt and pepper. Shake to combine. Place the chicken in the bag and shake to coat.

Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until nice and brown. Drain on a wire rack - if you drain on paper towels, the chicken just resoaks up that oil, which is pretty sick. You just want nice crispy pieces, not soggy oily ones.

Once all the pieces are cooked, ‘dunk’ them in the dipping sauce and serve.
