Method

For the Crispy Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Dip the chicken thighs into the egg mixture, then coat them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

For the Fried Rice

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add diced carrots and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

  2. 6

    Add Rice and Peas

    Stir in the cooked rice and peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

  3. 7

    Season the Rice

    Pour soy sauce over the rice mixture, adding salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 8

    Add Green Onions

    Add sliced green onions and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve the fried rice topped with the crispy chicken, and enjoy your meal!
