Notes

- Don't overcrowd the pan; fry chicken in batches to maintain oil temperature and achieve a crispier coating.
- For the sauce, feel free to adjust sugar and ginger to your taste preference. Allergens: Soybeans, Wheat. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
