Best Crispy Garlic Ginger Chicken Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until starting to thicken. Set aside until all the chicken is done.
• Pat the chicken dry. To a shallow dish add the flour. Whisk the eggs together in a second dish and put the breadcrumbs into a third. To bread the chicken coat it first with flour, then with eggs and finally with breadcrumbs.

• Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat. Add oil and cook the chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
• Add all the cooked chicken into the pan and pour the sauce over it. Toss until everything is coated and the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency.

GARLIC GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix wine vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, and water.
• Heat your skillet to medium heat and pour in the sauce. Bring sauce to a light simmer and let simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce darkens. Then, carefully pour sauce back into the bowl and set aside for later.
• In a large mixing bowl, add chicken and cornstarch and toss until chicken is fully coated. You may need to add an additional tablespoon or two of cornstarch.
• In a small bowl, whisk egg. Pour egg over the chicken and gently mix chicken to coat.
• In the same skillet you cooked the sauce in, add oil and heat to medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add chicken to the skillet. Gently spread chicken out into an even layer and let cook until bottom is golden. Don't panic, the chicken will look weird at this point but it will all come together.
• Once the bottom of the chicken is golden, flip chicken over, gently breaking pieces apart. Cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side until golden. Then, turn heat to low and let cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Drain excess oil from pan (if any) and turn heat up to high. Pour sauce over the chicken and begin stirring frequently for a few minutes.
• Serve with a sprinkle with fresh chopped green onions and sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy!

• In a small bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, cilantro, cayenne and 4 tablespoons oil. Finely grate the lime zest directly into the bowl; reserve the lime. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage lengthwise, core it, then slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick strips. Transfer to a large bowl and toss in the cucumber slices, chives and mint leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

• Place the flour and wings in a large, food-safe plastic bag. Hold the bag closed tightly, and shake to coat the wings entirely with the flour; no wet spots should remain. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheets, making sure none of the pieces are touching one another. Spray wings with additional cooking spray
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, turn all the wings, and return to the oven to cook until crispy and no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more.
• Whisk together the garlic, ginger, chili paste, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and immediately remove from heat.
• Put about half the wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour about half the sauce over the wings. Toss the wings with tongs to coat evenly; transfer to a tray and allow to sit about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to soak into the wings before serving. Repeat with remaining wings and sauce.
