Boneless Chicken Ingredients- 800g boneless chicken thigh
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 200ml milk
- 300g chicken flour (or tempura flour)
- 3 onions (1 for sauce, 2 for topping)
The Key! Snow Onion Sauce Ingredients- 1 onion (finely grated)
- Approx. 1/2 bottle mayonnaise
- 1 container plain yogurt
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- Parsley flakes (for garnish)
- 1 onion (finely grated)
- Approx. 1/2 bottle mayonnaise
- 1 container plain yogurt
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- Parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 800g of boneless chicken thigh meat. Place the chicken in a bowl and season it with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Pour in 200ml of milk to tenderize the meat and remove any gamey odor. Mix everything well and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the star of the show: the Snow Onion Sauce! Peel and finely mince 1 onion, or grate it using a blender until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine approximately half a bottle of mayonnaise, 1 container of plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly. Finally, add the grated onion to the mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are well combined. Your creamy Snow Onion Sauce is ready!
Step 3
Besides the onion used for the sauce, prepare 2-3 more onions for topping. Slice these onions as thinly as possible. To remove their pungent flavor and achieve a crisp texture, soak the sliced onions in cold water for about 10 minutes. It’s a good idea to change the water halfway through.
Step 4
Gently pat the marinated chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a bowl and add 150g of chicken flour (if you don’t have chicken flour, tempura flour works just fine). Toss the chicken to coat it evenly with the flour, ensuring it’s not too thick.
Step 5
After the initial coating, dip the floured chicken into the chicken flour mixture once more. Then, lightly shake off any excess flour. This technique helps create a crispier, lighter coating, similar to what you’d find at a professional chicken shop.
Step 6
Ensure the floured chicken pieces are separated to prevent them from sticking together. Gently shaking off any excess flour is crucial for a good coating. A well-coated chicken will achieve a crispier texture when fried.
Step 7
Now it’s time to fry the chicken to perfection! Heat your frying oil to approximately 170°C (338°F). Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for about 6 minutes for the first fry. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. This double-frying method ensures the chicken is cooked through and extra crispy. For the second fry, increase the oil temperature to about 180°C (356°F) and fry for another 2 minutes until golden brown and perfectly crisp.
Step 8
Arrange the beautifully fried chicken in a serving dish. Generously top with the drained, thinly sliced onions. Finally, drizzle our homemade Snow Onion Sauce liberally over the chicken and onions. Your delicious Chunman Chicken Snow Onion Chicken is ready to be enjoyed at home! Bon appétit!
