Cooking tips

Chicken thigh meat contains a lot of fat and can spoil easily, so use it immediately after purchasing. If there's no stickiness or off-putting smell, it's more hygienic not to wash it with water.
To save oil, it's essential to use the smallest frying pan. This ensures that even a small amount of oil creates enough depth for the chicken to be fully submerged and fry properly.
When removing the fried chicken, placing it directly on paper towels traps moisture and makes it soggy. Always drain the oil on a wire rack to maintain crispiness for longer.
Leftover oil can be reused 2-3 more times if filtered to remove fried bits and stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
