Notes
Adjust the amount of chilies: Better too few than too many. If you know your tolerance for heat is questionable, make the recipe first with a small amount of chilies and increase little by little each time you cook it. It would be a shame to waste such a delicious dish
Wait until the oil is properly hot: This is essential to get nice little crunchy pieces of chicken. Therefore, make sure the oil is hot before frying, and if you have a lot of chicken, ideally fry it in two batches
