Salt-and-Pepper Fried Chicken

750 grams chicken drumsticks/thigh

3 garlic cloves, minced (I use garlic press)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Frying oil

For the salt and pepper mixture :

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

3 dried chilies, finely chopped

3 green onion/scallion, thinly sliced

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/2 tablespoon dried shrimp, soaked until soften then finely minced

1 tablespoon oil

Mix the garlic, salt, white pepper and sesame oil. Rub the mixture to the chicken pieces. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

Heat the oil to 350°F. Fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown, make sure they are fully cooked. Set aside.

In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Saute the garlic and dried chilies until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic). Add green onion, salt, sugar, white pepper and dried shrimp. Mix well for a few second then add the fried chicken and gently toss everything for a few second. Serve.
