Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, sugar, minced garlic, sweet rice flour, salt, sliced green onions, and oyster sauce until well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to frying to allow it to come to room temperature. This will ensure even cooking. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per batch, flipping halfway through. (48 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, flavorful Mochiko Asian Fried Chicken!

For an extra crispy coating, double-dredge the chicken in the mochiko flour before frying.
Adjust the amount of salt to your preference. Some oyster sauces can be quite salty.
Serve with steamed rice and your favorite Asian-inspired dipping sauces for a complete meal.
Make sure the oil temperature is consistent to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't become greasy.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
