In a different bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of red pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Pour a generous amount of oil into a pan and place over heat.

Step 4:

Pour cold water into an empty bowl. Take some chicken cubes, coat them with the flour mixture, then sift well using a sifter. Soak in cold water while still in the sieve and shake to remove excess. Coat again with the flour mixture and shake off excess.

Step 5:

The coating should look cracked, then immediately put into the hot oil. Cook for 2 minutes and don’t touch it. After 2 minutes cook it for a little bit more until crispy and golden brown.
