  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger juice

Instructions

  • Take a large-sized mixing bowl and add an egg to it. Blend this egg using the hand whisk. Then add the cornstarch into this mixture. Blend again.
  • Season up the mixture using salt and pepper. Then pour the ginger juice into it.
  • Bring your clean, washed, and dried chicken, and then drizzle the prepared batter over this chicken. Let it settle for 10 minutes while covered.
  • Then make a slurry out of cornstarch and water it in a separate container.
  • Put the medium-sized non-stick saucepan over medium heat and pour the garlic juice into it.
  • Once it is heated, pour the coconut milk into it. Then at the same time pour the lemon juice over it. Wait for the mixture to get boiled.
  • Then add the cornstarch slurry into the boiled batter. Stir well. Simmer until you get a thickened sauce.
  • Then pour some oil into a cooking pan. In a bowl mix some oil with cornstarch and mix in some lemon juice. Sprinkle a little salt in it.
  • Bring the already marinated chicken and dip it in this mixture. Fry your marinated chicken in the heated oil.
  • Then bring your reheated sauce and drizzle it over your chicken. Fry each chicken piece for a few minutes until browned and then put your chicken in the serving dish.
  • To give your chicken a final look, put aside some lemon wedges and sprinkle the shredded coconut over.
