Ingredients

• 500g chicken wings/thighs
• 1/2 cup crispy flour

Method

• Coat lightly in crispy flour; fry over medium heat until golden

Choose fresh chicken with taut, pale skin, no smell; skin-on wings and thighs crisp up best · plump, firm garlic cloves.

Chef's Secret

Secret: fry over medium-high, cook through, rest, then double-fry for lasting crunch without greasiness; fried garlic is the soul of Hat Yai chicken.
