What is Vietnamese fried chicken?
Fried chicken originates from the Southern United States, and was introduced to Vietnam about a century ago. The main ingredients are pieces of chicken that have been rolled in flour and then fried in a pan, deep fried, pressure fried, or fried without oil. The breadcrumbs will help the chicken have a crispy outer shell, while the meat inside is still soft and succulent.
Usually, people do not fry the whole chicken but cut it into separate parts. People often choose to fry chicken thighs or wings because these parts are succulent and not dry.
Before frying, chicken pieces are usually coated with a flour mixture that may contain eggs or milk, or dipped in flour or breadcrumbs. You can also add seasonings such as salt, black pepper, paprika, paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder together. Before that, you can marinate or soak the meat in fermented milk, the acidity of the milk will soften the meat.
For deep frying, it is necessary to use a deep fryer or similar device. The chicken pieces will be dipped in cooking oil or fat (liquid fat). Basically, deep frying is submerging food in oil to cook at very high temperatures.
