Ketchup Garlic Chicken Recipe

How to make it

---

• Amount of chicken is upto you, but for this demo, let's have a 2 chicken wings, 2 drumsticks, chicken breast cut up.
• Marinate the chicken with salt, as desired, let it stand while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Proportion 2 parts flour to 1 part cornstarch and mix the poweders thoroughly, this is to be used to coat the chicken.
• Dust the chicken with the flour and cornstarch combination. Allow each piece of dusted chicken to stand awhile so that the powder would adhere to the chicken. Give it say 5 minutes.
• Deep fry the chicken, just like you would in ordinary fried chicken.
• Set aside the fried chicken.
• Get 3 tablespoons from oil used for frying. If it's possible for you to use the pan you used for frying the chicken, just pour out the oil and scoop back some 2 tablespoons.
• Saute the minced garlic but do not brown it. Turn off the fire if you think you are going over.
• Throw in the fried chicken pieces (at which point you may turn up the heat oncemore).
• Do as though you're stir frying, Add a tablespoon brown sugar at this point, (vary as desired).
• Medium to low fire please and keep on stirring so it wouldn't stick.
• Stir fry some more, like the chinese do with their food when cooking in woks. 'Til the brown sugar melts signigicantly.
• Add the ketchup, splatter it all over the chicken, that's approximately, a third of a cup.
• What your cooking should be smelling really good by now.
• Optional: mince the chili pepper (labuyo) add it to the mix.
• Last: Making an emulsion out of it all...turn up the heat, and slowly spoon in say a table spoon at a time of water, hear the fizzing? Stir while doing this...total amount of water to add...around a third of a cup.
• When that's done turn off the heat.
• Garnish with cut up spring onions half inch in length.
• For the Garlic person, top it with fried garlic.
