Tips: Pat the chicken thoroughly dry so the starch coating stays on and turns crisp.
Tips: Dried chilies can burn quickly if fried too long, so add the onion and seasonings as soon as their aroma rises.
Tips: Toss the chicken with the seasoning quickly just before serving rather than letting it sit, so the crisp texture lasts longer.
