Directions
Make your seasoning by whisking together salt, white pepper, Chinese five spice, and curry powder in a small mixing bowl.
Dice chicken into 1” cubes and combine with garlic, soy sauce, beer, salt, sugar, white pepper, and five spice in a medium mixing bowl. Allow to marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350°F (176°C) over medium high heat.
Add half of the flour to marinated chicken and mix to create a tight batter.
In a separate bowl place the rest of your flour and toss dredged chicken in flour until fully coated.
Working in batches, fry chicken pieces for 4-6 minutes, or until pieces begin to turn golden brown. Transfer chicken to a wire rack lined baking tray and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack-lined baking tray and season with the seasoning mix that was made earlier.
