Snow Onion Chicken – Tips and Tricks
Double dredge the chicken – For extra crispy goodness, coat the chicken in a cornstarch and flour mixture, then dip it in a beaten egg mixture, and coat again in the dry mixture. This creates a protective layer that ensures the chicken stays juicy while getting beautifully golden brown.
Fry in batches – Don’t overcrowd the pan! Frying the chicken in batches will prevent the oil temperature from dropping, resulting in perfectly crisp chicken.
Don’t forget the sauce – While the chicken fries, whisk together the creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy snow onion sauce. The combination of mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, and vinegar creates a flavor profile that perfectly complements the crispy chicken.
Shower with snow – Once the chicken is cooked, generously drizzle it with the snow onion sauce and top it with a sprinkle of thinly sliced snow onions. The delicate floral aroma and crispy texture of the snow onions add an extra layer of complexity and delight.
Recipe Variations
Spicy Snow – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or gochugaru to the sauce for a fiery kick.
Sesame – Drizzle some toasted sesame oil over the finished dish for an extra nutty flavor.
Veggie Delight – Add some stir-fried vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers to the mix.
