I love the recipes, and the sauce is great, I’ve been making the sauce for a while and love it, it’s so good to see you making it x
Kat says
Great recipe , just a note if u want it crispy check out an African shop and use farina makes it so crispy , cornflour doesn’t do half as nice a job as farina does .
Kathy says
Can I use corn starch instead of corn flour??
Khin says
Yes, cornstarch or potato starch creates the best crispy coating texture.
Frankie says
This looks like a great recipe! Is it possible to freeze and defrost the chicken once it is deep fried? If so, how long will it last in the freezer for?
Khin says
Hi Frankie,deep fry the coated chicken in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until it floats. Remove from oil and let it cool down completely. Then place in the freezer-safe bag or container and freeze it. It will last in the freezer for 2-3 months like other fried shredded chicken. Hope this helps.

Courtney Benson says
Can you use the air fryer for this receipe?
Khin says
Yes, you can place the cornstarch coated chicken pieces over the air-fryer rack. Spray cooking oil and fry with high heat for 8-10 minutes or until crispy.
