THE BEST POPCORN CHICKEN WITH SWEET BASIL (POPULAR TAIWANESE STR
I prepare and serve this popcorn chicken at a small cafe in Seattle. *** For this recipe, you may use boneless pork loin chop (pounded down 1/4 inch thick), chicken wings, drumsticks, or chicken breast. You must try the Potato Starch! It gives the chicken a light and pleasant crisp! The basil can be eaten together with the chicken. It's a delicious combo.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a dish or bowl. Mix wel.
- Cut Chicken into bite size pieces.
- Combine the mixture and the chicken together.
- Marinade overnight. (this can keep in the fridge for a few days).
- TO Fry: Heat oil to 390 degrees (anywhere from 375-390 should be fine).
- Thoroughly, coat the chicken with Potato Starch.
- Deep fry in small batches until medium golden brown. (about 1.5 mins ).
- Toss with Fresh Basil. You could also add the fresh basil into the oil, with the chicken, for the last 3 secs of frying, but the basil will lose some of its flavor. Be careful of the hot oil splattering when you add in basil.
- Finally, you can sprinkle some extra pepper, salt, and 5 spice onto the chicken if you'd like.
- Enjoy!

TAIWANESE POPCORN CHICKEN
if you've ever been to Taiwan, you've prob. had this at one point! if not, you're missing out! these are the approximate measurements i use, add more or less soy sauce to get your desired saltiness. sweet potato starch is used to coat the chicken to achieve the "street stall chicken" texture, if you cant find it you can use corn or potato starch but the texture will be different

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, soy sauce, black vinegar, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, five spice, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
