Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the dry rub mixture. In a separate bowl, prepare the wet chicken rub by combining oyster sauce, sesame oil, Chinese rice wine, olive oil, egg, and cornstarch. Pour the wet rub over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated. Massage the marinade into the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or longer if desired, to allow the flavors to penetrate. Coating the Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to create the coating mixture. Take each marinated chicken piece and coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Frying the Chicken: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Chinese garlic fried chicken hot and crispy, garnished with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Pair it with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious and satisfying meal! Follow these simple steps to create this irresistible Chinese garlic fried chicken that's bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade culinary delight! 🍗🧄
