- In this video, you'll learn how to make an authentic Chinese garlic fried chicken thigh dish with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Watch as an experienced Chinese chef demonstrates the full recipe step-by-step.
The chicken thighs get an incredible flavor boost by being marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, white pepper, and crushed garlic. The garlic gets infused into the chicken as it marinates.
Then the thighs are double fried using the traditional Chinese technique to get them ultra crispy on the outside while staying tender and moist inside.
This restaurant-quality dish packs a punchy garlic flavor and makes a fantastic main course or appetizer. The Chinese chef shares all his secrets for perfect fried chicken every time, including the key step of marinating in a garlic soy sauce mixture. You'll be craving these garlic chicken thighs weekly after trying this amazing recipe!
Here is the recipe for Chinese Cantonese Garlic Fried Chicken Thighs:
Ingredients:
2 kg chicken thighs
2 tbsp crushed garlic
2 tsp salt
White pepper to taste
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
Oyster sauce to drizzle
Sesame oil to drizzle
Chinese rice wine to drizzle
Olive oil to drizzle
1 egg
Corn starch
All-purpose flour
Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
1. Wash and clean the chicken thighs. Cut a slit in each thigh as demonstrated in the video.
2. In a bowl, make the marinade by mixing together the crushed garlic, salt, white pepper, sugar, chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and olive oil.
3. Beat the egg and add enough cornstarch to make a thick marinade batter. Add this to the marinade bowl and mix well.
4. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 1-2 hours.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and 1 tbsp corn starch.
6. Remove the marinated chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
7. Preheat oil for deep frying to 350°F (175°C).
8. Fry the coated chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes until a crust starts to form, then remove from oil and set aside.
9. Once all the thighs have been fried once, heat the oil up to high heat (400°F/205°C).
10. Fry the chicken thighs a second time for 5-8 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Turn down the heat if the oil gets too hot.
11. Remove the fried chicken thighs from oil and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
Serve the hot and crispy Cantonese garlic fried chicken thighs immediately. Enjoy!
😃In my 71 years I have never heard such an intelligent explanation on how to achieve delicious fried chicken! I’ve been rushing through the process. Now I want to follow your instructions the next time I fry. Thank you.
Glad to hear 😁👍
Love your methods on frying chicken
i've been working on mines. I watched about a month's worth of chinese frying chicken and ive seen the methods and used them, and my shit is fucking banging dude, no lie. I figured out the batters for different cuts of the chicken being used. Working on my food before I start vending. A lot of people use buttermilk, but that's just a bs gimmick in my opinion. My chicken takes 3/4 days to make, but it's worth it on every bite. Good luck!
I appreciate all the little details that people seem to forget to mention! Like, where exactly and why to make the cut into the thigh, why you only want to marinate 2 hours or else it's too strong, why we use the corn starch and not too much, why it is important to use ALOT of flour in your bowl, why we need to cover every wet area including the skin to not cause oil explosions! Dude - you are such a great teacher! Thank you so much for your attention to detail!
My pleasure 😁👍👍👍👏
👍👍👍
Mans glazing
Thank you.
Now I can make a very authentic fried chicken .
He "eyeballs" everything...I do that too! This is the sign of a great cook!
Thanks
Please don't listen to bad or negative comments please
I ignore them😅👍
Using ur hands is the best ALSO YOU'RE COOKING FOR YOUR FAAAAAMILY!!
Yea but its messy on the nails afterwards 😅👍
Meat next to the bone in *any* meat product is always the tastiest: pork chop, t-bones, chicken thighs, bony fish, etc. Your instructions are very thorough. Thank you. 🐔
Thank you 😁👍
I tried this recipe! Best fried chicken I ever made .
Glad to hear that, thanks 😁👍👍👍
I am so excited to use his exact recipe - NO SUBSTITUTES and I cannot wait. So glad you were able to achieve the best fried chicken. I look forward to mine!!!
Just use your hands…. You can always wash them… stop worrying about comments, you’re the one eating it…
It's better with gloves
Exactly
@@CantoneseFoodRecipes Far better with gloves. Speaking as someone who can cook Asian dishes, southern, creole, cajun dishes.
Amen. Can't stand the over exaggerated comments 😮
Gloves or no gloves it’s perverted😂😂😂😂
Even though my fried chicken days will be limited having gone from 309 lbs. to 245 and continuing my journey from 245 to 172 and 10% body fat but being a fellow chef, loving great food and know the time will come when I can treat myself to a couple of pieces of chicken with the skin still on, I am truly going to save this video and attempt the recipe myself but I will surely add some spice to the marinade.
I am not sure how your video found its way into my feed but I want to say congratulations for attracting 56,000 plus subscribers. That is a noteworthy accomplishment and I feel a sense of pride and joy for you, and those important to you for such an accomplishment. My name is Eric and I live currently in Key West Florida in the U.S., but I go by Ruler In Peace for all my creative endeavor and teaching endeavors. I am multi-ethnic (African American, Native American, Latino, and French) and am preparing to marry a Chinese Malaysian near the end of this year and I am moving to Malaysia in August. I am sure I will cook this for my baby.
Thank you for sharing and I look forward to getting to know you over time as I consume more of your content and share value if the opportunity ever arises to do so.
Respectfully,
-Ruler In Peace
Glad to hear 😁👍👍👍👏👏👏
Why did I open my mouth when you took that chicken to your mouth? 😂😂😂😂 I’m not joking 😂😂 that looked so delicious 😋 and by far the easiest recipe I’ve seen.
Hope you give it a try😁👍👍👍
@@CantoneseFoodRecipes I made it tonight and it was so good! There is no KFC better than the chicken I made tonight.
Thank you so much for the recipe.
Do you know what flour I can use for a gluten free recipe? I have a celiac in my family that I want to include ❤️
Rice flour, potato flour & corn flour are gluten free.
@@marycovington9788 Boom! 💥
I opened my mouth and was chewing with him...smh😂
Congratulations on the subscribers. But I'm not surprised, your content is real, honest, interesting and very easy to follow. True home cooking. 👍
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
That looks delicious! The thigh is the best part of the yardbird!
True😁👍👍👍
THIS IS A LEGENDARY DEFINITION OF ASIAN HOUSE COOK. WE CAN COOK DELICIOUS FOODS WITHOUT THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS!!!!!
Yip😅
I love my Chinese people ❤
I really love your heaping tablespoons of garlic. As a garlic lover, more please! I love your fry.
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
2 tablespoons of garlic, he he
@@CantoneseFoodRecipeswhat kind of oil do you use
How come when you take the chicken out you don't take the grease off it by using a strainer?
@@americanpodcast85he probably uses corn oil.
It’s neutral and I think it might have a higher smoke point as opposed to vegetable oil.
Thank you so much for putting your awesome recipe in the description box for us people who cannot cook so we can have it when we watch the video
My pleasure 😁👍
I think that you’re an excellent teacher…You display so much patience 🤗😋
Thank you 😁👍
🎉congrats on 50 K FAM ! Love all your food videos. ❤❤
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
“Me and my mom’s content “ 🖤 God bless you and you family keep up the great work🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
Technically, it is “my mom and me,” just saying.
Im not into asian flavors or food that much. But, how genuine you are, the tips i just picked up, and the inspiration you gave me earned you a sub not just a like. I would like to add some of your techniques into my knowledge for future inspiration while cooking. Thank you for creating your channel. Id like to create a channel one day as well. Im not a pro chef, but, i create and cook and know things and love learning things and being inspired to create something. While watching this, i was like, oh man, im getting ideas. Peace..
Cool😁👍👍👍
The chicken looks beautiful 😊😊😊
Thank you 😁👍
Don’t worry your head about using your hands without gloves it’s your kitchen your dishes. recipe looks delicious. I will have to do it.
Ok
I gotta try this....Never expected the Oyster Sauce.
Cool😁👍
Ok, I am ready too...where is MY plate?? Lol. That looks marvelous, darling!
Thanks
Awesome brother I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand awesome keep it up I really enjoyed your way of chicken and found that it's way tastier than kfc
Much appreciated 😁👍👍👍
I've watched both of your previous videos. Their ingredients and amounts are the same. This one should be the same, also. Stick to your guns! It's very nice that you listen to your blogger's comments and concerns, but this is YOUR recipe! If they want to make changes to your recipe, they are free to do it, but when I watch a recipe video, I just want to learn the recipe, and make it the way the chef made it, first. Until I make it, I can't criticize it. Remember the saying: "Those that didn't create it first, will be the first ones to attempt to destroy it." I look forward to trying your Doube-Deep Frying method. It looks as good as sounds. Thank you for posting this recipe, and all of its variations.
Much appreciated, thanks for the motivation 😁👍👍👍👍
Did you make it? @jonathanniccolls1592
Should be delicious
Perfect comment! I agree 100%! I don't want him to allow others to change his recipes. Every single time I go to someone:s channel to get their recipe, invariably there will be comments on how they cook theirs or how they changed the recipe and then have the nerve to criticize the outcome of their dish. I want to enjoy learning how someone else cooks and love the dish without changing it.
Same even4us wannabe chefz... Wen i go2a restaurant2try sumfin', i ask4it azitz made!!! If ic where i can improvit4"MY" preference, i will doso NeXtime i gitit, getit???😂❤😂

0:59 🗣️🎙️im i the only one that's hearing chicken fries 🍟
Ok
I thought the same😂
Looks very delicious very crispy. He explain things very well I’ve got to try and make it. You did a great job. Yum Yum very crispy.
Thank you 😁👍
I suggest that you don’t over explain the procedure so that you don’t consume too much time and prevent your viewers from getting bored watching the video.
Ok
I thought the video was fine but I do forget from time to time that 80% and more of the population has some type of a.d.d. or a.d.h.d. which is why apps like tik tok would be amazing if you could squeeze all this info into an extremely small window in comparison to this videos length. Ill be making this on the weekend. Thank you for the recipe and tutorial.
I love a cook that is patient and thorough. Even the best cooks can learn something new.
My suggestion is that it would have been enough if you had 4 or 6 pieces of chicken, since you are cooking for teaching purposes and not for a restaurant...
I rather close my eyes while listening the explanation...
Thanks alot alot for the step by step excellent illustrations of the chicken dish cooking. You have taught your viewers without any bias. God bless you and your family.
From: Nairobi - Kenya
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
I'm a garlic lover also, but he was firm about no mire or it can burn and make it bitter. I'm sure you have had burned garlic before. blahhk
Yea😅👍
This looks fantastic!
I have some chicken thighs I wasn’t sure what to do with but I do now!
Thanks for sharing all the recipes.
My pleasure 😁👍👍👍
Love the video... but over 6 minutes of talking about cutting... was a bit much.
Ok
Exactly, but very useful
This is my first time watching you. Great instructions, details and just great information!! What I DO NOT understand is what the big deal is with using your hands to mix your ingredients! I use my hands every time and see no problem what so ever...hands cleaned and healthy too! Nice job, guy! Thank you.
It's just cleaner
We understood with the first thigh about the bone and such. Try not to be so repetitive in your videos. Your viewers will get bored. Your chicken really looks good though.
Ok
Excellent video buddy! Very thorough presentation!!! It leaves your viewers with answers to all possible questions. If they get bored, they can always use the fast forward button to get to the specific content they desire. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
Wonderful, chef! Thank you! I love your tablespoons of garlic!
Awesome 😁👍
Fantastic technique and delicious recipe . I followed it exactly. Absolutely delicious . Thank you for sharing 👊🏽
My pleasure 😁👍👍👍
FABULOUS TEACHER! THANK U.
I'LL BE FRYING CHICKEN THIS WAY FROM NAH ON.
Glad to hear 😁👍👍👍
Bro I learnt a lot of new things from you as many of the comments before me have identified. Knowing when the chicken is cooked is when all the moisture content has gone. Thats similar to cooking fried bread in fat or oil. When it stops bubbling (frying), its cooked! Awesome mate. I will watch this again until I have it in my 61 year old brain lol. Well done and thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching, cheers 😁👍👍👍
Interesting! I love learning new techniques on cooking. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 😁👍👍👍
It looks great. I love crispy all the way. Continue your great presentations
Much appreciated 😁👍👍👍
For those that are unware, egg is used in many dishes as a binder. Not just in Asia. It's used for batter as in this video.
It helps the flour mix stick to the meat or whatever you want to coat. It's also used as a binder for meatloaf and burgers.
True😁👍
@@CantoneseFoodRecipes Great video. Well done.
Good Chef. Good teacher. Thank you. Im excited to try this recipe! Im sure it's delicious! 😊
Awesome 😁👍

@CantoneseFoodRecipes thank you very much Sr ❤️
Loved every little thing about this recipe.
Thank you 😁👍
I Am trying that! Sounds good!
Great😁👍👍👍
Loved all your tips Thank you 🙏
Cool😁👍👍👍
Excellent instructional video with a nice pace to it. I never thought to score away the meat by the bone to allow better cooking at the bone... reduced a lot of time frying bone-in chicken thighs. I won't say it's "better" than KFC but I will say it's AS GOOD AND SATISFYING in its own way... so KFC and YOU'RE recipe are both at the top of my favorite fried chicken (I grew up on KFC original recipe chicken). This is by far the BEST Chinese or Asian Fried Chicken recipe. Thanx very much!!!! (and yes, I add sugar or sweetener to a lot of my recipes because it offsets and softens saltiness and vinegar/citrus flavors without making it sweet...kinda mellows the flavors!!! Great Recipe!!!
Glad to hear 😁😁👍👍👍
Wowww ❤❤❤❤❤. A deffinant must to make. Thanks for sharing ❤
