[Tips]
👉Coating helps to seal in the juices of the meat, so evenly coat the chicken thighs with cornstarch. Make sure to shake off any excess cornstarch. By ensuring an even coating of cornstarch, you'll achieve a crispy, light texture. Excess cornstarch can absorb oil and result in an undesirable texture, so aim for uniform coverage.
👉Salt koji is a seasoning made by fermenting a mixture of rice koji, salt, and water. The enzymes present in salt koji enhance the flavor by adding richness and depth, and they also have the effect of tenderizing the meat
