Step 2 DetailCut chicken drumstick meat into small pieces and marinate for about 1 hour. Marinade: 2 swirls of cooking wine, 2 swirls of light soy sauce, half a swirl of dark soy sauce, 5 slices of ginger, Sichuan pepper powder to taste, and 2 spoonfuls of salt.

Step 3 DetailHeat oil and add the chicken pieces. Deep-fry on high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Note: 1. The recipe uses an induction cooktop at 2100W; if using gas, turn to high heat. Toss the chicken during frying to prevent sticking. 2. Use enough oil to submerge the chicken.
