Asian Fried Chicken

Asian fried chicken or five spice fried chicken is a tasty fried chicken recipe that you can prepare for dinner. This dish is so good and very flavorful. It is best eaten with fried rice.

Usually cook Asian Fried Chicken for dinner because it takes me a while to steam and let the chicken dry. Letting the chicken dry in open air (or sometime in front of a fan) makes it’s texture crisp when fried. This can be done by either hanging the chicken or placing it in an ordinary plate. Make sure that the part with skin is facing up. Asian Fried Chicken goes well with ginger sauce, plum sauce, or banana ketchup.
