STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

Make marinade: Stir together chicken, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until chicken is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.

4

Make the batter: Whisk cornstarch, flour, sugar, pepper, and salt together in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in cold water until mixture resembles a smooth batter. Use tongs to remove chicken from marinade to batter; stir to coat chicken completely. Discard marinade.

5

Working in batches, fry chicken in hot oil for 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cooling rack.

6

Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

7

Working in batches, fry chicken again in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
