Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Massage chicken in a sauce of soy, wine, grated garlic, and 'Taiwanese curry powder' (heavy turmeric, mild heat), resting overnight to flavor the core.
- Coat with sweet potato flour and fry. Curry compounds dissolve into the oil, finishing the crust in an appetizing golden color.
- Flash-fry Taiwanese basil (Jiucengta) right before done.
- Transfer chicken and basil to a bowl, sprinkle the finishing 'Special Curry Salt' (blend of Taiwanese curry powder, salt, white pepper, a little sugar), and toss vigorously to coat evenly.
